Harvest Time (on the other side of the world!) MMCC #27

Hi there! I know, I know it's been a looong time since my last post! I've been concentrating on our Queenscliff house renovation, which means card making has taken a back step. Hopefully I will get back to it soon!

Well it's the first day of September, which means it's the beginning of Spring in Australia, nearly time for Fall elsewhere and the start of a new challenge at the Mixed Media Card Challenge.

The theme this month is 'HARVEST BASKET' and the optional element is 'FRUIT'.

I stamped the music script, sponged the background with dye inks,  stamped the leaves and then layered the baskets of fruit which had been coloured on vellum with Zig markers. I added some splatter with the inks and then finished it with the wooden bee.


The design team have come up with some gorgeous cards to inspire you, so why don't you check them out here and then join in the fun.

ETA: I'm entering this card in the Craft Stamper Take it, Make it Challenge (Take a Stamp) and the Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.

I'm also entering the Time Out Challenge September challenge - which is to create a project inspired by these words ... “Love the trees until their leaves fall off, then encourage them to try again next year.”
