Post 483: Autumn CAS Card- Thankful (Inspiration for Craft Stamper Magazine's Take It Make It Challenge- October,2018)

Hi friends!!
Hope you are well.

Craft Stamper Magazine's Take It Make It Challenge for October is live. It is an "Anything Stamping Goes" challenge with beautiful prizes on offer and you could win the chance to Guest Design & be published in the magazine, so please read the rules and do link up your gorgeous creations :) To visit the Craft Stamper blog, please click HERE.

For the inspiration, I've created a Clean & Simple (CAS) card inspired by  the Autumn Season. 

Here are a few photos of the card:

Synopsis of the Process:

I've used Neat & Tangled's Oaf leaf stamp here. Stamped the beautiful leaf and sentiment onto Canson Watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx black ink. Created an organic watercolor background using Gansai Tambi Watercolors. Made a few splatters and added a few Nuvo drops for dimension. The panel is matted in black with a scalloped rectangle die cut (using a Winnie & Walter die) and then foam mounted onto an A2 sized kraft card base.

Look forward to seeing your beautiful entries in Craft Stamper's TIMI challenge for October, all the details are on their blog, HERE. 

Thanks a lot for your precious time :)

Stay Blessed!

There are 2 challenges every month and each challenge runs for 2 weeks, so you have plenty of time to participate. There are awesome prizes on offer, so please read the rules and do join in :) You don't need to have Stampotique stamps to play along!

Synopsis of the Process:

For both cards, I created the card bases and water colour paper panels using Hexagon Shaped Dies. Then added a few splatters of color and did ink smooshing to create organic looking backgrounds. Then did background stamping using Stampotique Originals Rubber Stamps. The focal elements on both cards are beautiful Stampotique stamps & the sentiments are cut from the  quotes in Quotes #1 Stampotique Stamp.
