Autumn Vibes

Hello lovely crafters!

I'm back with a card at last. I'm not sure what I've been doing. I have half made a few cards and also reorganised my crafty space. That was certainly long overdue and, though I haven't quite finished, I can find things I want and have, of course, discovered some lost treasures. 



 I made this birthday card partly for the Double D challenge. Fall plaids. 


Here is what I used:

I used the stencil to with green and orange in two directions to make the checks for the background paper, and then added the plaid effect and the stitching round the edge. These Inky Doodles stamps are much neglected so I was pleased to get them out. 


The flowers are all coloured in late summer colours in inks with a little pencil detail. Then I added the bees, dithering about where to put them as usual but they are stuck down now and staying!


As I used a stencil I can also enter Stencil Fun challenge with the optional theme of Fall. 


I think I've just got time to sneak into the Snippets Playground for a paddle and a go on the swings as I've done my homework. Snippets of white and black, 1 large and several small, were used on this card. 





Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
