The first of another month and here is my ATC for October. I used gel prints which I tore up for the collage background in shades of reds, oranges and yellows. I then stamped pumpkins over the background. I decided to go with a vintage pumpkin image for the main focal point (which I found at
The Graphics Fairy - a wonderful resource with free images although you can pay and subscribe for more options, should you wish to).
The gemstones have a suitably autumnal feel too, with dyed shell, garnet, red agate, mookite, smoky quartz, tiger's eye and more mookite. The gemstone for October is opal, so that is added as the charm.
On the back of the card is another image from The Graphics Fairy, of a pheasant, with some stamped and watercoloured acorns and a conker. This card does suggest autumn to me.
