I couldn’t resist this one when I saw the elemental inspiration on the Daring Cardmaker’s Blog…

ElementalOct2018

I love these colours and of course I’ve been leaf obsessed for the last month or so. I did, however, decide to do something different for this one, so using Distress Oxides, I made this.

GOD UNDERSTANDS 1

For the Calling All Sisters Challenge, Black and white, I made this…BW AGE 1

…and for My Time to Craft’s Kraft card challenge, I made this, with my favourite all time technique – Versamark resist on glossy card…

BEAUTY EVERYWHERE LEAVES

… which, because of the quote, also fits Fashionable Stamping’s Quote Away challenge.

The challenge on Sweet Stampin is to use a stencil, so I used my Phyllis Harris stamps by Unity to make this.

WIND ON MY FACE 1

The challenge at Allsorts is to use Trees and/or Leaves, so I took a break from what I consider to be Autumn colours and used pink and grey Oxides for this one.

CONFIDENT BRAVE AMAZING 1

That’s all for today...

I’m off to see the dentist now – unfortunately, I have an abscess, so have been in pain the last few days and my face is ridiculously swollen on one side Sad smile

Thanks for looking

See you soon

Cath

Sorry about your toothy problem, hope it is solved by now and you are free from pain (and swelling), know how you don't like the dentists.
On to nicer things - love your cards, the blending in the first one is really beautiful and the whole array is so you.
