Loll is this months host and the theme is MAPLE LEAF.
On the front panel I used a texture border stamp (Kaiserkraft) with Distress Inks.. antique linen, spiced marmalade, crushed olive and candied apple - over stamping with a final splattering of Versamark and gold embossing, then I added a strip of gold washi tape and fine strip of red card. For my Maple Leaf I inked an old wood mounted solid stamp (PSX) with Distress Inks in mustard seed, spiced marmalade and candied apple lightly spritzed with water and stamped on white card...then fussy cut it out. I stamped and gold embossed the sentiment and to finish the card, added a strip of gold washi tape to the bottom edge and used foam tape to attached the leaf and sentiment.
I am also playing along with the October Stamping Sensations challenge - Trees, Leaves, Autumn
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it, happy watercolouring
