Waltzingmouse September Blog Party - Fall

Blog-Party-Logo 70%25


So this months blog party is based on the theme of fall, something I absolutely love. The colours at this time of year are just beautiful, and seeing the silhouette of the trees as the sun sets is something I always look forward too, so I chose to do a silhouette card.

The stamps I have used are Waltzingmouse teeny trees, my absolute favourite set. I stamped the tree and leaves in archival black ink as I was going to be sponging the distress inks and I didn't want any smudging. (I used Antique linen, Tea dye and Barn door distress inks). I have a little maple leaf punch which I used along the bottom of the background paper (some scrap wallpaper) and then added 3 strips of gold ribbon and the sentiment.

Here's a close up of the tree with its fallen leaves.

If you'd like to continue on the party head over to Waltzingmouse now.

  19. Bee, I know I am late getting here, but I just wanted to tell you this was one of my favorites out of the whole group. Sometimes less is more and this is a fantastic example of the beauty of simplicity. I truly was drawn to this card and if I had found it in a Hallmark store, I would have bought it! Thanks for the inspiration,
