Autumn Leaves

 

 I've used one of our sponsors lovely images today to make an autumn card.

I used Mia (available here).  I coloured her with Copics and cut with a Spellbinders oval die.  I used some techniques I learnt in the latest Online Card Classes - clouds in the background and the grass.  My background was fun to make.  I used some heavy kraft paper and embossed it.  I then took a Kaleidacolor inkpad called Autumn colours and using a brayer coloured up the embossing and the background.  I then used the same ink to colour another piece of paper and stamped a leaf from a Winnie & Walter stamp and fussy cut the leaves.  The sentiment is from the same Winnie & Walter set and is stamped in a speech bubble die cut from Penny Black.   

Thanks for stopping by.  Please join us with your Autumn or Spring projects.

Scilia Fairy

Arlene has been super busy

I really like this larger rendition of Scilia Fairy because I enjoyed coloring larger quantities of hair and dress.  I added some Memory Box die-cut blooming fuchsia and Circle Border.  Crafty Sentiments Designs is sponsoring Die Cut Divas this month, so hop on over and join the fun.

The large yellow flower the fairy is holding and the Yellow Green tones on her dress just make me think of Autumn.I obviously love this digital girl because I couldn't make just one card.

I think the wonderful red tones in this image remind me of the beginning of spring with everything so fresh and bright.  What a lovely image.

Because of the yellow on the edges of the flower and the darkness of the dress and slipper color, I feel Scilia Fairy represents fall.  She is so versatile.

 

Thanks Arlene for sharing all these pretty cards.

Change of Seasons ~ Spring/Autumn

Hi crafters.  Dawn here to set you a new Challenge for October.  As you know a number of the design team here are from the Southern Hemisphere so I chose a theme of "Change of Seasons"  - Autumn if you're in the Northern Hemisphere or Spring if you're in the Southern Hemisphere.... or which ever takes your fancy.

Our fabulous sponsor this month is

 

 Remember you must at least use one die cut or embossing folder and while we're at it remember all cards/projects must be "new" and dated after the first October.

 So here is some inspiration from the team

Marsha has used Flopsy in the Rain

I have used Nature Watching choosing spring colours.  

 

Arlene has taken a Christmas Dress and made it into an Autumn card with the gorgeous Autumn colours. 

Cathie has used Tess Summer Fun and made a card with spring colours at every turn.

Do come and join us with your Autumn or Spring projects.
