Craft Barn Twelve Month Challenge : September

Time for my entry for the Craft Barn Twelve Month Challenge. The September verse is;

Warm September brings the fruit

Sportsmen then begin to shoot

Fruit stamps seem to be in short supply at my house but I have some pears so I thought I would use those for the background with a little country scene as the focal image. I have a Dreamweaver stencil of a pear. A bit of masking, inking and stamping with distress ink and I got my focal image. I masked it out with masking tissue and then stamped the pears and leaves on the background using archival ink and coloured the pears with a distress marker.

Silhouette stamps used were by Hobbyart CS083D Farmhouse Scene-it.

The pears in the background - unknown.

Stencil - Dreamweaver 

Archival inks : Leaf green and potting soil

Distress inks : Shabby Shutters, Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavender, Dusty Concorde

Happy Weekend everybody x

Doodles

Zentangles are structured patterns, drawn by hand and usually filling in white space. Some people describe it as doodling. Doodles are unfocused, sometimes unconscious drawings which doesn't quite fit with structured patterns but the patterns themselves are often unplanned, at least they are for me. This card started off as an experiment with a Dreamweaver stencil of a cat. I just decided he might look good with zentangle patterns and was quite pleased with the results so made it into a card. I left it black and white as black cats are supposed to be lucky and mounted it on red textured cardstock just to get a little pop of colour.

Materials :

Dreamweaver Stencil LL3020

Sakura Black Micron pen

Ribbon and cardstock from stash
