I've been meaning to get all autumnal lately, but today I finally got round to indulging myself! So, using the sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge, and the colours from CR84FN this week, here's the inspiration:
And here's my take:
I have based my card on a plaid pattern, using Pic-Nic Patterns and Offbeat Backgrounds.
On the left I have attached some kraft card embossed with a woodgrain embossing folder, and wound around the join some orange sheer ruffle ribbon and lemon yellow twine from The Ribbon Reel.
The sentiment label is from Spring Baskets, stamped onto a little pennant from Bitty Banners. Under the banner i have attached some lace also from The Ribbon Reel.
The little felt flowers are by Craftime, and the buttons from stash.
I made this card just for fun, for me. I love the cosy feeling the colours give, and coupled with the plaid pattern, it just makes me want to go and grab a hug!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Bitty Banners, Pic-Nic Patterns, Offbeat Backgrounds, Spring Baskets - Waltzingmouse stamps.
Ink: Distress Inks - Spiced Marigold, Walnut Stain, Frayed Burlap, Antique Linen; Chalk ink Sahara Sand;
Paper: White Linen card blank; White plain card; Kraft Bazzill from stash.
Ribbons: Lemon Yellow Baker's Twine, Sheer Ruffle orange, May Arts Lace - all from The Ribbon Reel.
Other: Wool Felt Flowers - Craftime;
Wood grain Embossing folder - Craft Concepts
Spellbinders: S4-114 Standard Circles large; S4-124 Scalloped Circles Large.
