Autumn Blessings At Magazine Monday

A few months ago I started doing a challenge at Papercrafters Corner

called "Magazine Mondays"....

it's a real challenge for me and I love a good challenge.....

 

This week we were to use the cover below for our inspiration....

 

 

I struggled, I have to admit....

All over my creative table are things I was trying to put together...

but in all that mess on my desk, I just wasn't "feeling it", know what I mean??

I finally decided to focus on one thing, and that thing is "color"....

I actually like how it turned out and it was super easy, which is always a plus!!

 

 

I have seen a lot of the "spattered" look lately, which pushed me into buying

this set from SU called "Gorgeous Grunge"....

I used this set for my background, inking it, then stamping it off on scrap paper,

then stamping it on my card stock, giving it a much more subdued look!

Simple?  Yes, but sometimes I like simple!!

 

Products used for this are:

Tim Holtz Distress inks Wild Honey and Vintage Photo

SU stamps Gorgeous Grunge and Lexicon of Love

Flourishes (sentiment) Autumn Blessings

SU card stock Very Vanilla and Creamy Carmel

I also have a second post today, take a peak!!
