I created my project using three stamp sets today 'Lovely as Tree' and  'Colorful Seasons' and 'High Tide'

The colours in my project were inspired by the Colour Inskpiration Colour challenge #CI09
If you would like to join in you don't need a blog. All you need to do is join the group HERE and then create and then upload your photo of your project to the group page.
It's that easy!


 All I can say about these colours are WOW!
They look absolutely stunning put together like this don't they!

Here is my project.

Autumn Days

For my project I was inspired as mentioned by the #CI08 colours, but also the picture that was used.
It is currently Autumn here in Tasmania where I live, so this scene that I have created reminds me of an Autumn day nearing it's end at dusk, just after rain 💦

The Bokeh effect over the top really helps to soften the effect and gives a dreamy quality but still enables the impact of these bright and vibrant colours to shine...My favourite place is in the middle of the bush lol can you tell 😊

The sentiment on the front along with the three leaves are from the 'Colorful Seasons' stamp set.
The sentiment has been stamped once in Cherry Cobbler.
Then stamped again in versamark and heat embossed in White Stampin' Emboss powder.
The trees are from the 'Lovely as a Tree' stamp set.
For the inside I used the sentiment from the 'Colorful Seasons' stamp set stamped in Cherry Cobbler and added a single die cut leaf.
