For You Friend I had a small piece of background left from my first card and I hate to waste so made this second card. The leaves and friend die are from a kit by Gina k and I embossed the leaves in three colours of Zing embossing powder, rouge, mustard and leaf. Die cut them out with the two friends die. The small friend die was then gold heat embossed and adhered to the large one. Wrapped gold thread around the green card mat, adhered the leaves with mounting tape, and the friend die and background after stamping and embossing the for you sentiment. A button, some sequins and gold bow added and all finished. Don't know which is my favourite. Like them both. 

Autumn's Splendour The image for this months challenge is this Autumn image donated by Gerda Steiner Designs and it was so much fun to colour. Gerda has so many cute images as well as clear stamps and her critters are just gorgeous. I decided to make a scene so added this Make it Crafty  tree, drew in the grass and then coloured it with my copics. I wanted to have a feel of the cold weather that follows Autumn and happy with the way it turned out, especially the sky. The PP is an old scrap from Hot of the press and added some burlap over the top of it before adhering it to the card base. I then adhered the matted image with mounting tape to the base to give it some dimension. A touch of Wink a Stella clear to the hat trim to finish, though it does not show on the photo. Copics:  Skin: E000,02,11,R20. Hair: E49. Hat & Coat: R24,29,87. Scarf: B26,29,Y13. Boots: N1,5,9. Wagon: N1,3,5,7,E70,71,74,79. Pumpkins: YR04,18,21,YG93,99. Tree: E27,55,57,YG95...

Autumn Leaves AJ choose the colour scheme for this week and they are perfect for an Autumn/Fall card. You had to use at least three colours but could use more if you liked. As it is spring here I googled some Autumn pictures to remind me of some of the colours I would need. I just picked the colours I wanted to use so they are not true to the Autumn leaves proper shades. I like the way they turned out and they went with my background. I think the term they use is poetic licence and I definitely used that on this card. The background is alcohol inks blended on glossy paper I made when trying out different colour combinations and this was perfect. Added strips of torn coloured card stock to the top and adhered it to black card leaving a narrow border. The tag is a die from MFT  that I printed the sentiment from Tiffany Doodles  on the bottom corner then taped it to the card. Added the twine and leaves with mounting square before adding the button and bow then mounting it to a...
