Christmas autumn bouquet

 An autumn stamp set used for Christmas…retired set

I love the challenge of using non Christmas sets to make Christmas cards…

Cased from Emma Goddard of Coastal Crafter.

Used some lovely distressed gold paper, adding lots of sprays, colouring with red berries,

and a gold banner and twine.

To show you a completely different version using this set, below is a case from stampitupwithjamie.com

The whole image is outlined. The leaves above are from the top left section, cut multiple times.

Have a peaceful day

Nuts about Squirrels

 Some old, some new….Autumn leaves, (new), Nuts about Squirrels and Autumn Bouquet (both retired).

The squirrels get everywhere….😃

These are grey squirrels, of which there are many in and around my garden.

Love the detailed die background

He even pops up on a Christmas card…

Love the lush velvet effect paper, looks so snuggly…

Some red ones….A simple diorama card, the squirrels in their hideout. 

As often happens, didn’t turn out quite as planned and Ooops, placed the sentiment too high 🙄

Have a fun Sunday

Autumn Bouquet

 Hi there

Here’s an extra card for the weekend, ready to embrace the cooler weather.

The first time I’ve used Fond of Autumn stamp set, Autumn Bouquet Dies,

And Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder (love it!)

Used a couple strips of Rings of Love paper, and a strip of gold,

Which looks brown! Ugh!

Coloured in part of the bouquet (this is a fascinating set, as you can cut the whole image,

Or cut it into sections, which is fab for layering).

Added a teeny sentiment and gold gem flower centres.

I’m entering the following challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches #551 (3 stripes)

The four season challenge “fall” (autumn)

Country view challenges “mists, mellow fruitfulness” (berries, acorns, (just see on paper), autumn hues)
