Autumn Birthday

Hi guys, it's my Brother in Laws Birthday soon and I was at a loss what to make, then I saw the Dusty Attic Mood Board for September which was perfect!!! lol

He loves the outdoors and nature and the mood board along with the colours was fab for what I had in my stash and what he loves, 

I started off with some corrugated card which I used on the base of my card, simply adding some paper by Lemoncraft over the top which I had distressed on the edges and tore back in a couple of places,

I've had this stamp for a while and it fit in perfectly for the theme and the colours of the mood board too,

Over the top of the image I coloured some Dusty Attic Lavender in some crackle paste then when dry I went over with some acrylic paint, I then highlighted this here and there with a little distress ink,

To keep in with the natural theme again I used some burlap fabric and cut out a couple of simple flower shapes, then added a few of the fibres from the burlap too, I finished it off with a metal embellishment,

On the mood board was some twigs and a bird so I die cut some twigs and used one of the fab D/A chip board birds which I again added some crackle paste too then coloured with some acrylic paint,

Some more twigs and leaves which I glued in front of a mini fence by Dusty Attic which all were on the mood board as well,

Then for another bit of added interest I used some Dusty Atic mini chicken wire coloured the same way with acrylic paint then I added some bronze micro beads here and there too,

Here is the fabulous Mood Board, so I used:

Colours, twigs, leaves, outdoors, bird, cloth/fibres, Fence,
