Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all having an enjoyable weekend, a lovely relaxed one for us so far! 

Let's see what you have all made for our Autumn Challenge.....

Janet

Two beautiful cards from Janet this week, I love the first card with the lovely pheasant and squirrel, the leaves, the papers are stunning, such an amazing card.  The second card is such a pretty Fairy Scene.

Janet's Description:

My first CC this week was made using LaBlanche papers and cut outs. These papers etc are from the same set I used a few weeks ago.I had been asked to make a 'Thank You' card by a lady who wished to say 'thank you' to a gentleman who had been and cut her lawn.

My second offering this week is a new page I have done in one of my journals.The stamps are Sheila Douglas and the background paper is Chocolate Baroque.

Thank you so much Janet for lovely Autumnal projects. XXX 

Lilian 

Now I just happen to know how amazing this style of card looks close up, Lilian creates these amazing detailed pieces on her sewing machine, the level of detail blows my mind.  I love that you have found card that matches perfectly to mount your embroidered piece onto a card.

Lilian's Description:

Here is my autumnal card for this weeks challenge. Thought I’d try out some of the files on my machine, thought this colour way worked ok for this week, frame is and old spellbinder die

Thank you so much Lilian for such an inspirational card XXX

Maria

Maria I absolutely love your gorgeous little Autumnal scene, this would look amazing in a box frame to have as Autumn Home Decor. 

Maria's Description:

Everything is dies by Sue W like the Celebration shadow Box, Life is a Garden and leaves from the Sycamore branches done with pixie powder.

Karen the leaves on your card look so realistic,  It us reminding of another challenge card that you made a year or two ago using same leaves,  i remember it absolutely amazing me then too!! I love that embossing folder too, perfect for any Autumn card. I might have to look for one.

Brenda

Oh Brenda I just love this stamped image, it's just adorable,  I love Joanna Sheen's 'House Mouse ' range, I used to watch her Craft demonstrations in absolute awe, all of the detail she used to add to the cards were amazing too. Such a lovely challenge card Brenda.

Brenda's Description:

Have managed to make one challenge card, the stamp is one I’ve had for ages it’s from Joanna Sheen, From her House  Mouse range, It called ‘LOVE Sunflowers’  I’ve had this for years so not sure if it’s still available.
I stamped the image and coloured it in with my Copic pens. I also tried colouring it with coloured pencils but opted to use this image. We’ll save that one for another day.

Thanks so much for taking part Brenda, I adore your card XXX 

Sonia

I am a sucker for a Wreath card, yours is no exception, its beautiful Sonia, I love the colours you have used and that embossed background is amazing.

Sonia's Description:

I punched some leaves in brown, green and yellow card stock and arranged them on a thin circle die cut frame to arrange as a wreath. The flowers and the hessian embossing folder are from Crafter’s Companion. I’ve added some gold gilding wax to the embossed panel and leaves - although it’s not really showing up in the photo. The sentiment is LOTV.

Thank you so much for a truly lovely Autumnal Challenge card XXX 

Sue

A beautiful Autumnal card from Sue for this weeks challenge,  Sue used some beautiful Autumnal  papers, Sue stamped and die cut the leaves, and coloured them with Distress Oxides.  They look so realistic Sue.
