Our Autumnal cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Yesterday was another very early start,  we drove with Becca & Matt to a remote Barn in the middle of the Hereford countryside, the scenery was breathtaking.  Becca had paid for us to attend this event that was purely showcasing the Tipis and different ways of dressing it for weddings,  the decor was lovely in all styles,  there were different companies there showing off their wares.  The part that you paid for was a prosecco & canapés reception,  the alternative was coke! The canapés  ..a young girl came to us with a platter with 12 squares of bread on, Paul, Becca & Matt took 1 beef canapé,  she then came to me and said would you like one? I asked what they were,  she shrugged her shoulders and said they had the beef, these are vegetarian,  'i think they are plum or something ', I just frowned and said no thank you,  she then walked away, so for £25 you got a 1inch piece of bread and a coke, bearing in mind their Tipi hire is upwards of £7000, I almost choked when the girl said "I'm an event manager, I can Manage & plan  your Wedding day" (she had planned the event we were at).  I think we can manage!  It was good to see the actual space the Tipi gives and the different ways you can lay it out,  Becca saw some ideas that she really loved and some ideas she thought she liked that didn't work visually.  So it was worth the visit for that. 

Let's have a look at your lovely Autumnal projects...

Lilian 

Lilian's Description: 

.hi, here i my tag for this week.

Thought I’d try a bit of grunge after all the crackle paste came off. 

Tim Holtz stencil and stamps 

Coloured with distress water colour pencils.

Am quite pleased with, might try another one, with crackle paste I am determined to get it to work.

Such a lovely tag Lilian,  that background looks so textured,  like a real wall, the greenery growing over it looks just right too.  The flowers and butterflies are coloured to beautifully work with the background.  The blue edging sets the whole thing off.  Absolutely amazing.

Thank you so much for creating another lovely Autumnal piece XXX

Karen

Karen's Description:

I fancied doing something fiddly

It’s not perfect but I think it’s OK

I changed the sentiment to my own 

I think Maria sent you one a few years ago and I bought the kit It’s by La Pashe

I do recognise the image, it's quite a good likeness 🤣😂.  Actually tucking a hot water bottle in your dressing gown belt is a brilliant idea 💡🤣

I love how you have bought that La Pashe lady to life Karen, popping her on a acetate sheet so that she standing in the doorway and you can see around her to the stars behind  her was a genius touch.  I love how this card turned out, the recipient could be any of us 🤣, whoever it is is very lucky. 

Thank you so much Karen for making a different style if Autumnal coloured card. XXX

Maria

Ooh Maria,  you know I love a wreath!  I love your card, the wreath layout is amazing, I love the beautiful images too, you have coloured them perfectly.  This card is everything you think about when you think Autumn colours.

Thank you so much my lovely XXX
