Hello, it's Sue here and it's my turn to host the challenge for the next 2 weeks. Before we get in to that, there's also some news to share about a small change we're making here at Frilly and Funkie. As you know we always have 2 winners for each challenge, one chosen at random and one chosen by the Design Team. From this challenge we will be inviting the winner chosen by the Design Team to be a Guest Designer for one challenge! So, now there's even more reason for you to join in!
Now onto the challenge, I love the colours of Autumn they are so rich and warm. The colours of the leaves are gorgeous, the golds, reds and rusts are just beautiful! The challenge is for you to create a project using these wonderful colours with a small twist, you must include some leaves on your project.

So here is my make for this challenge ...
I wanted to make a hanging piece and used lots of yummy distress goodies..all listed at end . I started by a piece of cardstock cut to fit my hanging board and applied Distress paints to my craft sheet and covered the background and also some spare card for the sentiment to be stamped on.
When dry I applied some texture paste (white ...coloured with a bit of distress paint) thorough a new Wendy stencil.
I also added some layers of distress ink and also some distress ink through a leaf stencil. When complete and dried I added to the hanging board which had been edged with the new crushed olive Distress paint .
Now the sentiment was stamped onto the spare piece of card in black archival...a gorgeous sentiment , don't you think ?
I inked the edges with walnut stain distress ink ...now onto the flowers and leaves all made using tattered floral and tattered leaves die, coloured with distress inks, spritzed with water and scrunched up...left and then unfurled, inked and spritzed with peeled paint re-inker in a mini mister with water .
Maybe they need some aged mahogany next time?
Well hope you like my make , make sure you pop over to Frilly and Funkie to see lots more fab makes .
have a fun and inky day!

I think this is beautiful! I like that it is not too orangey and dark. A softer version of fall(autumn).
