We Love Stamping October Challenge

Today is the first Sunday of the month so time for a new challenge over at We Love Stamping. 

This month Emma has chosen our theme which is:

**Autumn**

or

Anything Goes

My autumnal leaf is made with Concord & 9ths triple step autumn leaf stamp set and matching dies. I used Catherine Pooler inks and mounted it on a foiled background, which gives it a lovely shine that you can see in the photo below.

Of course once I had this all set up, I didn't stick to just one. I chose 3 different colours and made this:

I used a die cut background that I lightly inked with green and edged in the dark red. I am not really sure about it as I think the background is in danger of overwhelming the leaf, which should be the star of the show. Let me know what you think.

 Don't forget there is always a prize to be won and this month there are 3 prizes from AALL and Create, border stamps, A6 stamp and two stencils Why don't you head over to the challenge blog to check it out? The prize winner is selected randomly and in addition the DT will choose a top three for special mention.

I hope I have inspired you to join us this month, all you have to do is ensure stamping (including digi) is seen somewhere on your card front, it no longer needs to be the main focus. Please also mention the products used. It would be great if you could join in with our theme, but anythings goes is always an option if you are out of ideas. The challenge will close at noon (UK time) on Wednesday 30th October.

I am looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.

I am also sharing the first card at:
