The return of the theme and sketch challenge for STAMPlorations

I am delighted that today is the day that the theme and sketch challenge restarts over at STAMPlorations after our summer break. Please check out all the rules over at the main blog post here. In brief you need to use stamping on your projects. You don't have to use STAMPlorations stamps to enter but of course we love it if you do! You can link up 6 times with new blog posts and you need to add our logo to your post. You can go with the theme, the sketch or both, the choice is yours.

For October our theme is autumn

 and the sketch is this lovely one.

I chose to work with both the theme and sketch for my card.

The products I used were autumn falling stencil, 

stitched hills CUTplorations die

winged things stamps

and 

fond expressions 2 stamps

So this is what I got up to;

I chose some very autumnal distress inks

 and laid down some colour.

 I then took my stencil and added repeats of the colours until I got this cool background

 and used this to die cut my base using the stitched hills dies.

I then stamped and gold embossed the butterflies and stamped the sentiment. 

Here is my finished card. 

and one last shot

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Addicted to stamps and More 1/3 make your mark

Crafteezee 1/3 leaves

The Artistic stamper 1/3 inktober

And yes of course I didn't waste the other part of my stenciled leaves page..I used a sentiment from 

wanderlust expressions 1

to make a second card as a reverse!

Here is the link again to the challenge, good luck!
