Golden October Garden

I have been so enjoying our Autumn walks, especially now that the leaves are finally beginning to change in our part of the world!
I have made a journal page with some challenges in mind too!
I started by using a seed-head stencil and some copper paint to make a reverse stencil by putting paint onto the stencil and using it as a stamp.
I added some patterned stencilling too, followed by some script stamping and then overstamped some leaves(from a freebie stamp)
I stamped some poppies and painted them with gold acrylic paint
I added some texture paste and gold paint through a leafy Dylusions border.

I cut out some TH words(one each from two sets)
I outlined the words with a brown Stabilo all pencil and smudged it with a watery finger.

The colours here at Sizergh were lovely too.







I would like to enter my page at…

I 'm in love with the seed head stencil and the copper and gold colors you used to make this a truly awesome art page. It is GORGEOUS.

Of course, I was in love with the beautiful photos, too. They are so charming, and I wish I had the gardener who manicured the lawns at Sizergh.

Beautiful layering of stamping on this page Chris, firstly the subtle stencilling, then gorgeous falling leaves in the background in beautiful autumnal shades topped off by additions of texture paste and hints of gold. Beautiful...Thanks so much for joining us at Stamps and Stencils. Ruth x
