Autumn Glory at Stamping Sensations

 


Good morning I've some exciting news to share - I was asked to join the Design Team at Stamping Sensations, which is one of my favourite challenge blogs, so of course I said 'yes'!

The challenge this month is Autumn Glory and we have two sponsors this month  Stamp Addicts who are offering a £25 voucher and also our own  DT Dora who designs some wonderful images.  

Dora kindly gave the Design Team the option of using one of her images.  I chose this gorgeous flower, which I printed off and watercoloured.  I kept the colours muted as I wanted the look of fading summer blooms against the vibrant emerging Autumn colours.

My autumn background is a mixture of Distress inks, some script stamping along with a floral background stamp.  

It's a fabulous Design Team so please pop over the blog and check out their creations.
