The weekend is approaching, and if this nice weather that we're having at the moment continues, we might just get a couple of days away in the van! Not sure where yet. Wherever we end up, it'll be a bit of 'wild camping' as I think nearly all the actual campsites on the island are now closed for the winter, which is a shame. But I believe there are a few places dotted around the island where we can still stay overnight. We'll be fine, we have everything we need in the van, and enough power to last us a few days.
Anyway, enough of all that ........ the reason I'm here is to remind you of this months CAS Mix Up challenge. Have you played along yet? Don't worry there's still time, the challenge doesn't close until October 24th.
Viv is our host this month, and it's a stencil challenge with the theme ..... Tone on Tone
Like the piece I made for the challenge launch ....... which you can see here if you missed it ..... I started out with a piece of coloured cardstock, and then chose my inks in different shades of the same colour.
Very Autumnal don't you think!
I used the pretty leaf stencil from Uniko and Distess Inks.
I started with the lighter shade first, which was Spiced Marmalade, then stenciled over the top with the new Crackling Campfire ..... a gorgeous colour for this time of year.
I added a few splatters of gold ink over the top, stamped my sentiment .......
And finished off with a few sparkly sequins, before mounting it onto a black cardblank ....... I love how it makes the colours really stand out.
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day.
Cheerio until next time ........
Stencils: Natures Treasures II (Uniko)
Stamps: sentiment collection (Penny Black clear stamp set)
Inks: Distress Inks - Spiced Marmalade, Crackling Campfire: Versafine Clair - Nocturne; Delicata Metallic ink - Golden Glitz (for the splatters)

Great Autumn design Linda, love that you used the coloured card for the tone on tone and the black for the card base. Happy camping!
What a pretty and fabulous effect with the tone on tone LInda x. I like how you started with the coloured cardstock and built up your card from there. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration and I hope you had a lovely weekend away on the Island? x.
