We Love Stamping Guest Designer

 I am guest designing at We Love Stamping again this month where the theme is Autumn/Anything Goes and here is my first card.


I don't have many autumnal themed stamps but I searched through the stamp collection and made a scene using images from two Craftwork Cards sets, The Mulberry Tree and Landscape Artist, using Memento Inks onto Wow! Smooth cardstock. The sentiment is Uniko Just Because Set.
I matted the image onto SU Mossy Meadow card amnd embellished with papers from an incredibly old pad by Papermania -Hampstead, some linen thread and some stamped leaves from one of the sets.

Thanks to We Love Stamping for having me back to guest design this month

I used the Lili of the Valley Simply Print To The Top for the main image and sign and for the scene I used Made to Surprise Swing and Jungle Scenes paper pad. Julie Hickey Designs Layers, Frames and Banners Dies were used and the Happy Birthday was also from Julie Hickey from the Friendship Blooms stamp set. I finished it off with some Stampin Up Enamel Dots and it is all on a 148mm square base card.
