Autumn leaves inspiration for Visible Image

 Good morning it's time for my fortnightly design team post for Visible Image. 

Autumn continues to inspire me with all her glorious colours.

For today's make I used the awesome

autumn leaves stencil 

with Erika's maple 

To make a canvas/wall hanging.

This is what I got up to;

I sprinkled PaperArtsy Emerald Isle infusions onto mixed media card and added water. I dried with my heat gun and applied crackle texture paste through the stencil. 

While still wet I added distress embossing glazes tapping off the excess.

I left this to dry overnight and then heated from below to melt the glazes.

Just look at all this yummy texture and glaze..it reminds me of pottery mosaics. 

I then blended distress inks around the leaves to add colour.

I stamped some of the small leaves onto book pages and cut them out. I  also stamped and white embossed the sentiment onto black card. To finish off I distressed the edge of the cardstock for extra texture.

Here is my finished wall hanging.

and one final shot.

I would like to enter my wall hanging into the following challenges;
