Autumn Days at Indigo Blu

Hello there! Well its the 21st of the month so its time to unveil the new challenge from Indigo Blu - this month the theme is Autumn Days - so we want to see anything autumnal themed or coloured. You need to include an Indigo blu stamp or stamps on your make to be in with a chance of winning. The full details can be found here. here's my make for the challenge - I hope it inspires you to join us.


Its a hanky box cover and I have used the following indigo blu products in its making:

postbox-red paint
ruby-slippers-metallic paint
hot-cocoa paint
burning bonfire paint
goldfinger metallic paint
chocolate-box megaflake
flitterglu
giant-poppy stamp set
poppycock stamp set
on the edge stamps
limor-circles stamp set


I started by painting the box with the hot cocoa paint. Then I stamped some of the limor circles using paints. Next I used the chocolate box flake, flitterglue and the limor webber on the edge stamps.


Then I made the poppies after first painting some card with the reds, gold and orange colour and then stamping and fussy cutting.




Finally I added some diecuts using a memory box die on a sheet painted with goldfinger paint.

A simple piece but I did enjoy making it. I Hope you have enjoyed seeing it!

Big Hugs

Rachel x

    As you might guess this gets the thumbs up from me Rachel, Poppies of course are a fav but also the lovely warm Autumnal colours and added texture.
