Fantastic Fall ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

Fall IS fantastic and my favorite season of the year! So I created a spread in my art journal featuring the Luscious Leaves Cling Mounted Rubber Stamps, and the Filled with Blessings, Give Thanks, and Autumn Swirls Unmounted Rubber Stamps from Red Rubber Designs.

In addition to the cute scarecrow from the Filled with Blessings Stamp, are the plaid and dots that I stamped randomly over two pages of my art journal using Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink. Then I adhered pieces of burlap, followed with Prima White Gesso applied to the Tim Holtz Mini Birch Stencil. Once it all dried, Magicals and sprays were next to create some beautiful autumn colors.

The rest of the stamping was embossed with Emerald Creek Onyx Frost Embossing Powder, giving it some sparkle, including all of the Luscious Leaves that I fussy-cut.

The fence stamp is also included in the Filled with Blessings Stamp Set, and the pumpkins from the Give Thanks Stamp, colored with Distress Inks, Magicals, and Distress Sprays.

The title was stamped and embossed onto a torn piece of white tissue paper with the Autumn Swirls Stamp, and adhered onto the burlap with Prima Marketing Soft Matte Gel. Once it dried, I colored over it with some more Magicals and sprays.

Such a fun spread to work on, using some of my favorite Fall Stamps from Red Rubber Designs!

Crisp leaves with beautiful changing colors is just one of the many reasons why I love Fall so much! This layout features the Luscious Leaves Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp from Red Rubber Designs made into a wreath.

As soon as I saw this fabulous sketch @ The Studio Challenges, I knew it would be perfect for my photo!

I started by masking some circle reinforcement labels sprayed with Hag's Wart Orange, Cajun Carnelian Red, Mission Bells Brown, Black Orchid Silver, and Blazing Black from Lindy's Stamp Gang, based on the October Color Challenge.

Then I applied Prima Black Gesso onto the Well Rounded Stencil from TCW to create the other circles.

I stamped the title and background along the right side with the Autumn Swirls Unmounted Rubber Stamp from Red Rubber Designs, embossed with Lindy's Midnight Copper Obsidian Embossing Powder. The tag was cut from kraft cardstock, covered with Prima Clear Gesso, and sprayed with Yellow Rose of Texas , Misson Bells Brown, and Hag's Wart Orange. I finished it up with machine stitching, tied off with some copper and rust fibers.

To make the wreath, I did a lot of fussy cutting, stamping my leaves with the Luscious Leaves Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp , embossed with Lindy's Midnight Pewter Embossing Powder onto various colors of cardstock colored with Hag's Wart Orange, Mission Bells Brown, and Cajun Carnelian Red sprays. Then I hand-stitched the circle with black and orange embroidery thread for this months twist in the Sewing Challenge that I host @ Scrapbook. com.
