October Elemental Challenge At Daring Cardmakers

Good morning everyone, it is the first Friday of October which means an Elemental Challenge over at Daring Cardmakers.

This month's elemental challenge is hosted by Dawn, she has provided this gorgeous picture to inspire us.  You need to pick at least three elements from the picture to create your cards, colour palette being one element.

I just love the colour palette and picked the blues, browns and red for my background, the grasses, leaves, wood planks and the word Autumn.

The background was created using distress paint, ink and stain smooched together onto white linen card, dried and the remaining colour picked up onto the card.  I stamped part of a wood plank stamp randomly over the background and stamped the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

The leaf was cut using the Silhouette, coloured with distress inks and stamped with an Inkylicious stamp in black ink.  The sentiment is also Inkylicious. I attached this at an angle above the sentiment.

Do come over and join in the challenge, details of how to enter and the design team inspirational cards can be found HERE. We love seeing how you interpret the elemental challenge pictures so please do join us this week.
