* Vera Lane Studio: Welcome Fall ATC

Hello!

September is here and autumn is in the air!

Over at the Vera Lane Studio Facebook Group I am hosting this month's ATC swap and I've chosen the theme Fall.

Here is my first ATC for the swap.

I love the colours of Autumn and tried to recreate them in a little scene depicting the Fall season.

I used Helga's Hedgehog as the main image set and added elements from Woodland Props (tree stump, bird), September (leaves) and The Foxes (acorns).

All images were coloured with Copics and fussy cut.

The background is white card which was coloured with Distress inks then dry embossed with a tree bark embossing folder. I blended Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the tree barks and inked around the edges.

Helga and the hedgehog are popped on foam pads for dimension whilst the leaves were curled and glued down just in the centre, so they appear in 3D. The acorns, tree stump and the bird are glued directly to the background.

I printed the words and cut them into strips and, once in place, I outlined them with black fine-liner pen.

That's all from me for today.
I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. 

It's such a friendly, fun place to be!
