Autumn Theme



This is the first card I have created to enter into a competition, well a few actually!
These are:
Sketch Saturday Week # 124
Magnolia Down Under Tag It
CES Challenges Create A Tag
Challenge Up Your Life Autumn Theme
Stampin For The Weekend Autumn Theme

The main image for this card is Cherry Tilda. She is coloured with Promarkers as follows:
Skin: Satin and Blush
Dress and Scarf: Pumpkin and Burnt Orange
Cherries: Berry Red
Leaves: Forest Green
Shoes, Bow and Dress Cuffs: Mustard and Sunflower
Hair: Cocca and Hema

The papers used are from the My Minds Eye: Bloom and Grow pack. These have then been matted and layered on to 2 different shades of brown card stock from Kanban Crafts.

The 'Happy Birthday' and 'With Love' sentiments are from a Papermainia pack, as are the coloured gems in the opposite corners, these were bought from The Range. I think this is also where the 'Friends' sentiement on the base of the card is from.

To finish the card I used some brown and orange ribbon which was part of a free gift which came with a magazine subscription.

Happy Crafting :o)
