Autumn colours ...

After a very wet Saturday, it's been back to beautiful sunshine today - ideal weather for weeds!  Signs of Autumn are all around short days and falling but colourful leaves.  It therefore seems appropriate that this week's challenge at "Less is More" is Autumn Bounty to use the beautiful colours of the season.
Sorry about the tilt of the card!  I promise it is straight just a bad photo!

Hopefully you can see the texture of the grunge paste.
I firstly spread grunge paste through a stencil and once dry I have placed the stencil back and coloured the paste using distress inks.  I cut a smaller panel of card and stamped it with a 'ticket' sentiment before mounting it with foam tape.

 I used:
Ranger Grunge Paste
Distress Inks - Mustard Seed, Dired marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Festive Berries and Fired Brick.
Papermania Urban Stamps - Happy Days

 I will also enter it in the monthly challenge at STAMPlorations where the theme is Stamping and Embossing.

 Enjoy!

    That Grunge Paste certainly sucks up the ink and it's beautifully blended too !! Great card !
