Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media Challenge for October - Nature

This challenge is sponsored by

Do pop over to Happy Little Stampers to see the fabulous inspiration for this Challenge!

Here's mine - a tiny canvas:

You may remember me blogging in June about these pictures my daughter and I made:

We used die cut trees and melted wax crayons to give the autumnal leaves effect. The frames are some of our burnt wood ones.

This time I wanted to use Color Burst Powders and water to give an autumnal feel.

As I was using water, I wanted to stamp my trees 

(from SU's Lovely as a Tree - one of my favourite stamp sets!)

with a waterproof ink - so using watercolour paper I tried Stazon and Versafine.

I preferred the blackness of the Stazon.

I then sprinkled with a few Colour Burst colours on the dry paper and spritzed with water.

For the ground I mixed some colour with water to use as a paint.

I then moved on to my tiny canvas and a small rectangle of MDF.

I was really quite pleased with the result...

At the beginning of the month Sketch~N~Scrap celebrated

I used one of the above trials for Challenge #2.

CHALLENGE NUMBER TWO; Using the sketch create a card and make sure you have - at least one circle, at least three of the same embellishment (stars, hearts, flowers, leaves, etc) and one banner.

Happy Crafting!
