October Colour Swap

Autumnal Colours
I was stuck for ideas until I saw this post on Gecko Galz Blog so had to visit the Blog concerned.  

I purchased the papers that Electra recommended, they're digital, and went to printing.  These papers were great to work with and I was spoilt for choice, I printed and cut and spread them out on my desk and slowly pulled them into some sort of order!




I loved the little boy on Electra's third card so that's where I started.

I used the sunflower paper for background, the beauty of digital papers is that you can resize the images.  I edged the little boy image with blue and attached it with a 3D pad.  
Tim Holtz's words are 'enough'. 

The fairies had to be used, they were edged with a deep red ink and decoupaged onto the centre of the background paper.  I smooshed some 'autumnal' colour inks across the sentiment .... guess where from?!?! lol

I just love Art Deco so this image was a 'must use'.
I edged the lady image with black, the circle with gold and the whole card with brown ink. Decoupaged it all onto the background and realised I hadn't left room for the sentiment.  I trimmed the words and managed to fit them onto the card.  Hurrah! for Tim Holtz spacing!

I love this image of a couple having fun in the leafy wind.  I edged this image with red ink and popped it onto the centre of the leaf background with a 3D pad.   I placed the smooshed sentiment across the lower edge to finish. 

My swapped cards came in a variety of themes:
