It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Autumn/Fall". And as it's the first Monday of the month, we're showcasing Tim Holtz products. So if you have any, we'd love to see them used in your project(s)!
What is more fall than Halloween? And I'm still in the Halloween mood and apparently also in the color orange, LOL! Although orange is also really an autumn color, so perfect for this challenge. I started with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade and Distress Inks Ripe Persimmon and Ground Espresso. Then I also added Distress Ink Black Soot. With a blending tool I gave the lighter areas some color with Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon and made the edges a bit darker with Ground Espresso.
After I had randomly stamped with Read to Me stamp, I applied a seal with MicroGlaze. I wanted the background to stay as it was, but when I applied a layer of Clear Gesso, it still reacted a little bit. But after this layer of gesso the background was protected. And I was able to work with my powders to add more depth together with wax shimmer. But first I applied some texture with the Mixed Media # 6 die set and Texture Paste that I made black with Distress Paint Black Soot.

Stunningly vivid colours, made all the more dramatic by the dark shadows and texture - love those glowing bubbles too. I'm definitely going to check out the video too.
