Autumn

Simply less is moore have a challenge and it's one layer "Autumn"

I have made quite a few autumn cards recently, 4 to be exact. I needed 2 for my guest designer stint at Time out Challenges but I actually made 4 and then chose the two I wanted to use. So today is one of the cards that I didn't use. It fits the challenge perfectly.

Guest designer #2

I'm the Guest Designer over at Time out Challenges and here is my second card for their challenge

Autumn... The year's last, lovliest smile

  

 

This was actually not what I was originally planning on making. I had in my head something along these lines

however I didn't measure my panel for stitching very carefully (that's what happens when you save your scraps to be used later!) and it was too short. After a quick panic I remembered these dies which I have never used before and they saved the day. 

Some crochet cotton, glitter on the leaves and faux stitching complete the card.

Guest Designer

Today is a very exciting day for me as I have been invited to be the Guest Designer over at Ttime out challenges

 

The challenge is a word inspiration and the idea is that you focus on a word from this phase and use that as the inspiration for your card.

 

The phase is

 

 'Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile' 

I have focussed on the word 'Autumn' and here is my card

 

 

Why don't you hope over to their blog and see the other great challenge cards on display.

I hope that you will join in the fun.
