Autumn anniversary...

Once again I am trying to get cads done ahead of time so this color combo may not look appropriate for now but it is for an Autumn anniversary.

My son and d-i-l have an October anniversary.

Make My Monday Challenge 65...Messy Backgrounds
and
4 Crafty Chicks Challenge...Lots of Layers
and
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge...Make Your Own Backgrounds

The background is the piece with the Tim Holtz alcohol inks (terracotta, lettuce and caramel), on glossy card stock, smeared with wool felt and alcohol.

Once it was dry I ran it through the BigKick with one of the dies from Sizzix Tim Holtz "Mixed Media" die set.

The base card is cream card stock with a layer of rust card stock then a layer of cream card stock before applying the background piece.

The leaves are cream skeleton leaves and I applied them with dots of glue.

Back to the BigKick with the Sizzix Tim Holtz "Celebration Words:Script" set for the anniversary wishes I cut out one in cream and one in rust card stocks.

I applied the cream words first them trimmed the rust to apply where the words ran over the cream card stock layer.

To finish I applied Nuvo buttermilk Crystal Drops.
