FSC is all about Autumnal Colours this month which the lovely Esther picked as the theme.
I opted not to go for an Autumnal make but just to use the Autumn colours.
Ordered some really fab Seth Apter goodies before I went on my hols and they have been sitting on my desk crying out to be used.
The album below has been made with the Contour Change A Page Die. What it does is cut out the pages to make an album of your choice.
For the front of the book I used a range of Autumnal colours and inside there are lots of die cut pages, in various types of cardstock, just waiting to be journalled. Left the rings off to make it easier to take photos.
Paint brushes stamps from Anna Griffin, raindrops Designs By Ryn the quote from PaperArtsy, and not forgetting Studio 490 Art Journal Basics.
All other background stamps are from Stampin Up called Timeless Textures.
A Tim Holtz stencil, Speckles was used with molding paste just to add a little texture here and there.
Black Versafine ink was used for some of the stamps and paint was used for the rest.
Entering into the Craft Stamper Challenge which is Anything Goes.
I would love it if you hopped on over to see all the DT’s work as they are simply stunning. Also don’t forget that the winner of this challenge has $20 to choose anything they like from Flonz’s store.
Autumnal colour and textures as well Shirl, this lovely piece has it all and the deep shade on the paint brush really draws the eye.
Have a good Sunday.

Hi Shirl, I love this art journal cover and you’ve definitely nailed the ‘Grungy’ look 🙂 The paint brushes look great and I really like the splash of red paint. The sentiment really make me was to open it and to see what’s inside. I love your take on the Autumnal Colours theme, very artistic and creative. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
You have such a beautiful eye for colour. The splash of red from the large paint brush to the small one shows great composition. Love this…can’t wait to see what is inside!!!

I haven’t seen this new die yet! Looks exciting and I love the Mixed Media/grungy feel of this cover. I wonder what will be in the book… xx
A fabulous cover Shirley, love the depth of colours and that splash of red just makes the whole page pop!
The quote is brilliant, can’t wait to look inside.
