Hello, crafting friends!
I've no idea why the autumn has been taking its time to arrive but the leaves are beginning to turn now and the wind is picking up so I daresay things will start moving along quite quickly now. That was enough to inspire me to do a little autumn crafting anyway!
I got my Reverse Confetti Fall Foliage set out for this CAS little number, stamping some of the leaves on scrap card stock and colouring them with a mix of Spectrum Noir and Stampin' Up alcohol markers.
The leaves were fussy cut and arranged on the corner of a panel trimmed with a Heffy Doodle stitched rectangle die. I added a simple thank you sentiment from Clearly Besotted's Elegant Butterflies before attaching the panel to a card base.
CHALLENGES
I was inspired by The Sisterhood of Crafters, where the theme is Autumn Inspiration and by the beautiful colours at CAS Colours and Sketches. This simple card has a masculine vibe so I'm also joining in at Watercooler Wednesday where Heidi's challenge is Anything Goes With A Masculine Twist.
AND IN OTHER NEWS
In this action shot (!) of Eva having an enthusiastic roll, the leaves are actually dead ones from last year that the wind is flushing out.
Eva is fine with that. She would prefer a dead bird or something to roll in but hey, she'll take whatever there is!
Simple ... and PERFECT! What a great idea Vicky! Well done! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Sisterhood of Crafters challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Beautiful layout and autumnal colours
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect card for Fall and I am guessing it might have been inspired in part by Eva rolling around in the leaves (definitely not inspired by her dead bird fetish)! Such a sweet girl. Love this card, again simply elegant. Thanks so much for joining us again this week at CC&S
ReplyDeleteAdore the vibrant colours with the white background
