Beautiful Autumn

Hello, I trust those of you in the UK who have recently endured one of our hottest ever weeks are now feeling cooler and more up to getting back crafting again. I know I definitely am. 

I have even noticed how many of the leaves are starting to fall and the evenings drawing in! 

I couldn't quite bring myself to share a Christmas project with you this week ( nearly did! ) but opted for a more autumnal theme. 

I made this card to show at my Autumn/Winter stampin'up catalogue launch. It is the beautiful Autumn  bundle from the gilded autumn suite. I have also added one of the lovely gold hoops from the annual catalogue to make the wreath for this card. 




The base is a very vanilla thick cardstock, the first layer is soft suede and the top layer is very vanilla cardstock embossed using the tasteful texture 3D embossing folder.

The colours used  for the leaves and acorns were early espresso, soft suede, Cajun craze. 

The little acorn trinket comes from the gilded autumn suite. The ribbon form the annual catalogue ornate garden suite.

Tasteful Touches slim line card



Hello again, It's been a while since my last post, various things have happened and a spell of extremely hot weather has slowed things down a bit. However I have a delightful bundle to share with you today from the stampin'up annual catalogue. I did a challenge with a couple of other stampin'up demonstrators local to where I live in the UK to make a slim line card. Also I decided this week to join in the paper players colour challenge using, mango melody, melon mambo, night of Navy and pool party. the colours help to bring the card to life. there are background images stamped directly onto the card and then I have stamped the flowers and feathers to fussy cut to place onto my card using dimensionals. 

The sentiment is form the same set as are the dies to use for the sentiment. A piece of ribbon and sequins form the whale done suite has finished off the card.

thank you for taking time to look, please leave a comment in the box below. 

Hugs and blessings 

Ruth xx
