Hello everyone!

I have a few posts today as I share cards I made recently for a few challenges that close today.

First up is my entry in the Color Throwdown challenge using some products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

The combo this week is mossy green, rust, kraft and cream – another set that’s perfect for autumnal cards!

I have to say the background was a labour of love! I cut the Leaf Pattern die (51-432) from a panel of cream cardstock. I put the main image to one side (you may see that later this autumn!) and adhered the frame and 3,000 tiny leaves to the card base.  I used the die cut image as a guide to position all the leaves and then worked in sections, picking up gluing down about 8 at a time. It didn’t take too long really!

All the stamped images are from the fabulous Owlsome set (30-718) – I just adore that owl with his leafy ears and wings! And the separate leaves are so pretty! I coloured them with my Twinkling H2O paints and added some stickles too – I wish you could see how sparkly this is in real life!

The sentiment is from the Always Thankful set (30-932).

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the challenge at the Four Seasons challenge using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black, including a stamp set from their wonderful brand new release, Autumn Gala.

I absolutely love the autumn umbrella in the Fall Breeze set (31-010) – such a clever idea. This was so much fun to colour with my beloved Twinkling H2O paints! I fussy cut the image and adhered it to my card base which I had stamped lightly with the Brick Wall cling stamp (40-137). I added a few leaves from the Pumpkin Parade die set (51-754) and the green squiggles are from the Pumpkin and Leaves set (51-360).

To complete my card, I added a sentiment from  set and a few sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!
