October Challenge : Autumn Splendour

Hello fellow travellers, and welcome to our latest challenge here at A Vintage Journey. Sara Emily here with you today from sarascloset as your hostess for this challenge:

AUTUMN SPLENDOUR 

With the glorious colours of fall it would be oh so nice to see some falling leaves, pumpkins, acorns or any other favourite images that brings fall to mind. Just remember to create your project in our preferred styles of vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.

I hope you will love what the Creative Guides have created to inspire you and that you will find time to play along with us this month. We can't wait to see what you will create!

Oh, how I love autumn's boldly colored foliage and blue skies!  I chose to make a super quick and easy card that's chock full of the season's colors. Please stop by my blog to see some close ups, and I'll have a full tutorial on how I created it right here in a couple of weeks.


I created this little folio for Sara Emily's wonderful theme. It doubles as a birthday card for my daughter whose birthday was just recently. If you want to see what is hidden inside, please visit me on my blog.



I absolutely adore the colours of Autumn and wanted to create an art panel with as many of the colours of this season as possible. I have used PaperArtsy Infusions over a gesso background and incorporated a number of paper clay embellishments as well. Do join me over on my blog if you would like to see more.

Ah, autumn... pretty much the only time when really bold colours start to appear on my craft table!  For my Autumn Splendour, I wanted to capture the glory of the changing leaves against one of those vivid blue autumnal skies you sometimes get.  Do come over to Words and Pictures to see more details of this huge jumbo tag.



For this wonderful theme I used lots of dies to create my tag.  Autumn is my favorite color palette so I used every one that I possibly could.  I hope you enjoy and will stop by my blog here to see more.
