I think I've mentioned that I love this time of year. I also love it as a theme for crafting and love having the chance to make autumn cards. Our theme this week at SU Only Challenge is Fall/Autumn.
I used a piece of DSP and embossed it with the Basket embossing folder. Now the eagle-eyed among you will notice my weave is back to front so that's something I'll have to make sure I'm aware of next time. I think it still works though! I used a label punch to punch out the three labels and used some images from Painted Seasons - the fir cone and the leaf - and Nature's Perfection - the little flower int he middle. The Thank You sentiment came from Background Bits and I used a label framelit to cut it out.
I edged the labels with some Soft Suede lightly sponged. I used some retired Washi Tape and then layered some Old Olive twine and tied an extra bow. There is a touch of Wink of Stella on the images just to give them a bit of sparkle.
Our challenge over at Stampin Up Only challenge this week is Spring - with an option of Mother's Day - though for us here in the UK Mother's Day was in March. I lost my mum 9 years ago this month so doubly Mother's Day is not a card for me at the moment. My card however does have a spring like feel to it and I've used my mum's favourite flowers - roses.
I've used the very lovely Petal Promenade DSP together with one of the pieces of the Delightfully Detailed laser cut paper. Both of these were gifted to me by my friend Andrea Parr and this is the first time I've used them.
I used the pale pink backing of one of the papers and added the lovely trellis piece on top. This was backed onto some of that lovely pink rose paper and I used some of the cut offs to punch out the butterflies - I've used my retired Butterfly Punches in both large and small for the butterflies. The sentiment is from a retired set Cottage Greetings and I've inked it in Fresh Fig.
I look forward to seeing all your lovely spring like creations - I know my mum would have loved this card.
