#friendsforlife


Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week's challenge theme is all about Fall! What colors, textures, and products are you inspired to craft with this fall?
 I was inspired to create a Fall themed layout featuring a rusty / patina color palette:
I scrapped a photo of my daughters that was taken over 10 years ago as the prepared to carve their pumpkin. 
My goal was to create an autumn vibe using a rusty / patina color palette by combining Broken China and Rusty Hinge Distress Paints along with Vintage Photo Distress Stain
I embellished with Tattered LeavesTattered Florals,

I added lots of texture and design to the background using both the SPLATTERS and BURLAP stencils:
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my project and I hope I have inspired you to give it a try and join along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge!
Be Sweet ;)
