Today I'm thrilled to be hopping along with great artists to share some "Frightfully Fall" creations using Jessica's stamps and stencils. We have a great giveaway - one lucky commenter will win Jessica's Cascading Leaves stencil and Tree of Life stamp.

For this Blog Hop, I did a small canvas (5" X 5"), with Jessica's Hamsa Blessing stamp as a main image and I chose Fall colors.

I started by applying black gesso to the canvas

Then I gelli printed a few papers with the beautiful and delicate Apple Pomegranate Stencil

After that, I stamped the Hamsa with Versamark ink and embossed it with gold over black cardstock. I applied 3 coats of Utee over it

I "had" to use gold leaf on this process so using the same Hamsa stamp, I cut it a little bigger and then applied the variegated gold leaf

This is what I had for my composition. I added black cardstock as a finishing touch

Thanks for visiting me on this blog hop. Now, make sure to visit:
