Autumn is fast approaching and it was time to make something to put in my frame and take out the summer sampler!
The squares are 2" each, the green square is 9", scored at 3" and 6" each way, to help me position the panels.
Top left: Cinnamon and Toadstool cluster from Purple Onion, coloured with Polychromos pencils, Liquid Pearls on the toadstools.
Top centre: SU Autumn Accents Bigz, the acorn was cut twice. I cut the cup off, sponged it with Pumice Stone, embossed it with SU Square Lattice and sponged again. The top was sponged with greens and browns and coated with EP for shine. It's backed onto a piece of card made by stamping with a leaf - I put mine through the Big Shot with a regular sandwich, to get a good leaf impression.
Top right - Stampendous Sunflower Ladybug, coloured with Polychromos. I stamped it twice, so the ladybird is shaped slightly and popped up (and coated with Glossy Accents), and I also cut a couple of petals free and curled them up slightly.
Centre left: Cottage Cutz Build a Grapevine Wreath die. The leaves were coloured with Inktense pencils, the background was sponged with blue distress inks and spattered with water.
Centre - SU Just Celebrate, coloured with Polychromos pencils.
Centre right: Petie and Wilber from Rubbernecker, coloured with Inktense pencils.Cottage Cutz Picket fence trimmed down, I used the Spellbinders cattails die to cut some "wheat" to put behind the fence. Pumpkin is a small oval die and Memory Box leaf
Bottom left: IO leaf, cut from watercolour paper, coloured with re-inkers and embossed with UTEE. The background is just something from my scrap box.
Bottom centre: QuicKutz and Memory Box mushroooms, MFT grass, old SU paper
Bottom right: QuicKutz hedgehog, more of the MFT grass. For the leaves, I used alcohol inks on photo paper and cut them with an IO die.
I so badly wanted a scarecrow on this - but the panel that I used my only scarecrow stamp on was one of the three that didn't make the final cut.

Holy Smokes! This is wonderful! I love the combination of images and die cuts. What a great selection of fall icons. So many details to admire. I really like the dark green mat and scored lines. Beautiful!

WOW Sabrina is this ever COOL!! Every square is a delightful little motif incorporating an element of Autumn. I couldn't pick a favorite..they're all so darling! It's good that you framed it...then you can hang it and look at it whenever you want! Love it!
