Welcome, Autumn!

Hello all... I have to be quick today - piles of boxes await me!  Unusually for me, I've a card for you, and again I was playing with the lovely new Artistic Outpost set, Hayride.

There's really no need for a how-to on this one, as you've seen a "naked" version of this card already, so you can see the steps towards it here as Leftovers.  And if you want to know how I masked the images, you can find that out here.

So that should leave us with a very quick post today...













The images are stamped in Plum Archival - such a fun colour to play with - and Sepia.

They're stamped on a book page which has had a rough coat of heavy gesso.

Once I'd arranged all the layers and glued them down I got going with some spritzing and spraying.  

Not sure I can remember the precise colour combinations any longer, but they were mists and inks from a fantastic Polish shop, 13Arts.













I love how the resist on the canvas (Prima - also leftover from my workshop with Finnabair) comes singing to the foreground once you add colour.

I tell a lie... there is something on this card that isn't on the naked version.  

I started by doing some clear embossing on the kraft card background, using the ledger stamp from the Ephemera Backgrounds.  

I do love a bit of embossing to catch the light...












Okay, so that's as quick as it gets round here, I guess.  

Hope you're all well... I'm still having trouble fitting in much blog visiting - but I will be back!  Have fun in the meantime, and I'll see you soon.

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
