I don't think I'm alone in loving Autumn - it's gorgeous colour changes to the leaves and the light at this time of year - though as we speak I'm not really enjoying the storms roaring through Wales at the moment. We have a rather large sycamore tree near our house and, with all the weight of its leaves still intact and the intense rain it could be a disaster for the tree were it to loose it's roots. Fingers crossed it stays put.
I couldn't settle to creating anything whilst sitting at my desk wanting to play and saw the challenge from Allsorts regarding leaves and trees and that was my motivation to get out some stamps.
My background started out with an ink smooshing session and I used a Tim Holtz stencil to lift off some of the colour - you can just see the white squiggles it left behind. I added the Hazel tree from Lavinia stamps. The leaves were from a die cut session I did recently after watching an Alison Bomber video. The dies are from Tim Holtz. I added some pieces of ephemera and the sentiment is from Visible Image. The birds are from Waffle Flower.
