Good morning all, Julie here with some BA autumnal inspiration.
Over at Cardz4Guyz their latest challenge is to make a card using some or all of these colours in a masculine card, Orange, Purple and Black. I know many of you find masculine cards difficult so here is what I came up with.
CAS is a great way to make a masculine card and as flowers are a bit of a no no for them too, I turned to leaves. In this case I used Nature's Treasures stencil, some DIs,Wilted Violet, Black Soot, Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade and a sentiment from Organic Wishes.
I mostly used the smaller of the two stencils moving it around to create the look of an autumnal tree inking onto an A6 top fold white card. I wasn't sure how the purple element would work out but I quite like it. Where it overlays the orange it gives a shade of brown but the purpley hues suggest depth and the black stencilling, shadows. The sentiment is quite ambiguous and could be used for a variety of occasions, including sympathy.
On a side note it was loveley to see and interact with so many Uniko stampers at Port Sunlight last Saturday. If you wonder which one was me, I was the one with zero till skills and glasses!!
Just a quick reminder that over on FB, the Uniko FB VIP challenge is Autumn Vibes with the option of Halloween and you have until Novemeber 10th to add your Uniko makes.
A fabulous card Julie.
