Hello friends! Hope you are well. I have had a hectic couple of days and in my haste I completely forgot to post this card. It should have gone out yesterday. Oh well, here it is. I have another one for you tomorrow. Let's see if I can get that out on time! :)Here's a side step card I made with stamps from Chocolate Baroque's new Autumn Poppies A4 stamp sheet. This is autumn at it's best and I love everything about autumn: the colours, the smells, the cooler temperature. There is an unspoken excitement in the air - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas ... so much to look forward to. Ok, maybe I don't like everything about autumn. Sweeping up falling leaves... well, I'd happily give that a miss!
Then I randomly stamped a leaf from the Autumn Poppies sheet with Memento Potter's Clay. The greeting is from Pretty Poppies A5 stamp sheet, heat embossed in white.
Here's a close-up of the mushrooms. I must admit, I never really saw mushrooms as a thing of beauty, much less have them on a card! I think I've changed my mind. These guys are coloured with Graph'It markers: 1210, 1230, 3120, 3245, 3255, 9303, 9304 and 9306. Next I fussy cut and mounted on foam tape. I stamped more leaves with Memento Potter's Clay coloured with Promarkers Olive Green and Moss then fussy cut and adhered them to the card.
More falling leaves. This time I coloured them with Graph'It 3125 and 3140, fussy and randomly adhered them to the steps of the card.
Taking my 'shrooms to these challenges:
Ok, must dash! Thank you so much for stopping by and I'll see ya tomorrow with another card.
Beijinhos!
WOWZER!! Asha, this is a really amazing side-step design!! Gorgeous Fall colors and I just love the added leaves to it!! I've been seeing many of these side-steppers...I'm in the mood to make one now!! :) HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fab card Asha, love those mushrooms and the colours are gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous Asha - reminds me about when I was little and we went into the woods to collect mushrooms! Yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I would never think of making mushroom cards...um...that sounded a bit to 60's didn't it? The colouring is great and the one card, easel style, is really cool. I wish I could do that style. i have tried...and failed. The leaves are wonderfully done
ReplyDeleteMy goodness this has to the best colouring yet! The colours are so warm and the design amazing. Thanks for joining us at ATSM and have a good weekend x
ReplyDeleteGosh, this is the most gorgeous autumn design! I love everything about it! You've put a lot of effort and heart into this design, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card. I saw the thumbnail at Word Art Wednesday and had to come see a big version. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteLove your colouring and stitched layers Asha. This is a wonderful card and as you say who would have thought that mushrooms would look so good on a card? This stamp set looks so versatile.

This was definitely worth the wait, Asha! My goodness there's so much fabulous detail I hardly know what to light on to mention! Me too I wouldn't have thought "mushrooms" and "gorgeous" together, but these ones are. So autumnal and elegant. And those leaves! I just love it :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous Asha I love it!!
