'AUTUMN.....the years last, loveliest smile'
You can take your inspiration from the phrase itself or maybe concentrate on one of the words, its totally up to you!!
I decided this time to use one of the words and decorate with Autumn colours around it:
I haven't used my Distress Inks for blending for quite a while and wanted to create some Autumn leaves with them.
I blended Barn Door, Mustard Seed, Spices Marmalade and Evergreen Bough on to some white CS. I then die-cut leaves from each colour in different shapes. After stamping the 'smile' and heat embossing in gold, I used some glue to layer the leaves on the card front. Once finished I added some gold sequins for a bit more shine.
The 'smile' is from CAS-ual Fridays 'Sassy Smiles'. The gold sequins are from Neat and Tangled. The leaf dies are all from Paper Smooches and from 'Flowers' and 'Roses' die sets.
I have five challenges I would like to enter:
Inkspirational Challenge # 92
Simply Create Too Challenge # 95 (Autumn Splendor)
Simon Says Stamp - World Card Making Day
Fusion Challenge
Simon Says Stamp - Monday Challenge (Autumn is in the Air)
