The very creative and talented Kathy is the host of the latest challenge on the Frilly and Funkie Blog. She describes the challenge as: "To Everything There Is a Season." Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. Brilliant leaves, fall flowers, crisp blue skies, and migrating geese fill the season with a sense of wonder and anticipation. You're invited to create a vintage or shabby chic project that captures the beauty of fall. You can make a card, a tag, share a journal entry or any kind of project you desire. Just be sure to create it in the shabby chic or vintage style and be sure to use fall (not Halloween) images and colors.
I am a big fan of fall and I love playing with leaves and the colors of the fall leaves. It had me creating a layered canvas full of yellow, red, burgandy, and orange.
After that dried I stamped and stenciled die cut leaves using various stamps and and colors. I then layered them into the background using decoupage (I used fast finish) but you could use watered down glue.
I then stamped and misted on tissue paper which was also layered onto the background to give another dimension of texture. After all that was done and dried the canvas sat for awhile as I contemplated what next.
I decided to create another layer of bigger leaves died and embossed to coordinate behind a few paper dolls and their dog as the focal point. I added the fun key and sentiment and then I was done.
The team will choose their top four picks with the winner being invited to join us in a Guest DT spot here at Frilly and Funkie and the next three will receive badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique
