Calendar Challenge September

Doesn't time fly... after today I only have 3 more calendar pages to make and barring any serious mishaps I should be able to complete the set for the Craft Barn Calendar challenge.

This month the colour is brown and the word is Tree. I immediately thought of using another Crafty Individuals tree stamp as I got the impression people really liked this card (I did too).

This time I used the CI-259 set and with the help of a stamp positioner created a scene. As in the card I blogged previously, I inked my stamps with several colours of inks using Zig graphic markers. I probably mentioned this before but I really like their tip, which, not being felt tip like most markers, doesn't shed fibres on the stamp. When stamping such detailed stamps a stray fibre does make a difference, especially to my blood pressure...
I finished off by adding a few stamped leaves (an old set by My Mind's eye) and the calendar of course.

I hope you will like this one too, let me know in your comments!

  1. I love your autumn trees calendar page. You have completely captured the autumnal colours and it looks like a scene from one of the Surrey heaths. Beautiful xxx

  2. So seems our hubby's observations of our cards are pretty much on par Christine, I like it before but the new panel does add a nice dimension.

    And of course I love your September page, trees, leaves and Autumnal colours, perfect.

  11. Ta page de calendrier est sublime, les couleurs sont flamboyantes et l'effet est vraiment très beau sur un fond blanc comme celui-ci!!! Je n'ai pas ces marqueurs (on ne peut quand même pas tout avoir LOL), mais bravo en tout cas ici c'est top, et merci pour ta participation au challenge CI, bonne chance!
    (moi je n'ai pas pu encore me pencher sur ton challenge Tic Tac Toe, excuse-moi... Pourtant l'idée est super chouette, ce n'est donc pas l'envie qui me manque, juste le temps..). Bizz
