Pile It On! Challenge - Autumn Colours/Theme

It's time for another fun Pile It On! Challenge...and this fortnight the theme is:

'Autumn Colours/Theme'

Our sponsor this month is Doodle Pantry:
Prize - 3 Digital Products of the Winner's Choice!

I actually used a Christmas stamp on my project...it's called 'Snow Dust' by Penny Black...I heat embossed it using 'Kettle Copper' powder...and thought that it looked like leaves being blown off the trees...rather than snow! I then blended lots of Autumnal coloured Distress Inks over the top...colours used: Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss & Brushed Corduroy. To create some texture in the background, I splattered it with some plain water droplets, then patted off the excess with a paper towel, which removed a little colour in those places. I then stamped a Hero Arts 'Music' background stamp over the top...inked with 'Pumice Stone' Distress Ink, but partially removed before stamping. To finish, I inked around the edges with some more of the 'Brushed Corduroy' Distress Ink, and added some ribbon and twill in co-ordinating colours.


Here's a close-up of the copper embossing:


Here are the challenges I've piled on:
