Autumnal we say!

Good morning!

I'm back today to share my latest Crafty Boots challenges DT project, and the theme this time is - 

AUTUMNAL

As chosen by me! Yep I have chosen this theme as it is one of my favourite times of the year. I love the colours, smells and the fact that I can start to wear layers - boots with long socks, long tees under short sleeve tops etc. So for this challenge, I want to see Autumnal colours, items, characters, leaves or Pumpkins. As long as it has an Autumnal theme then it's okay by me!!

Here's my make - 


I chose to use one of the new Saturated Canary images called 'Tidy Up' The one thing Autumn does so well is the leaves - all crunchy and colourful. So I thought this image works well. I coloured her with a mix of markers using bold autumnal colours. I then stamped out the leaves using Stampin'Up stamp set 'Wonderfall' Thankfully the ink pads from SU  - Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade & Raspberry Ripple - matched my colours along with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. A simple green mat set against centura pearl card stock created the backdrop along with a faint script which is the SU En francais script stamp. I used Antique Linen ink. A few Card Candis and 3 pennant punched shapes accented the project.

Here's some close-ups - 




I really enjoyed using these colours and you'll see I've not added a sentiment as I want this card to be suitable for most occasions. 
Take care Zo xx

  2. Stunning work Zoe, your colouring is really outstanding. I love your leaves, they are very unusual.

    I think I was enjoying autumn up until last night and after a sleepless night I am feeling like the proverbial zombie this morning.
