Autumn Leaves


 Someone sent me this stamped image a long time ago (I think it's by Newton's Nook) and I finally got around to using it. I colored it with Copics and cut it with a stitched square die. The white background was done with a Lawn Fawn swirled clouds cover die and then the dark green piece of dsp was die cut with a MFT fishtail banner die. I added some die-cut Lawn Fawn leaves along with a matching sentiment that was cut into a banner shape and matted with another piece of cardstock. I added 3 random assorted Nuvo drops of color to finish this card. All the designer papers are from a Lawn Fawn fall paper pad I got last year.

I'll share this with the following challenges:





The Critter Crazy Challenge #79 - A/G featuring a critter

Fall is my favorite time of the year, but it seems like October rolled around with lightning speed this year for some reason! Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

This Newton's Nook kitty seems having so much fun in the pile of leaves! :D Beautiful colouring and love so much the patterned diecut leaves, they adds cuteness and interest to your beautiful design! That pinpoint panel is perfect to add the wind to the foliage :) Fun and sweet sentiment too!
Here it's hot, new little pumpkins are growing and people go to the beach... I'm still in flip-flops and T-shirt!
Sending big hugs and heartfelt thoughts, enjoy your days!

Hi, Carol! I'm just popping in to say hello! As a cat lover, I can say, yes, this is definitely a Newton's Nook stamp as I have this set myself. I like how you coloured the kitty and the leaves! Fall is my favourite season! Gorgeous die-cuts and embossing too! How are you doing, my friend? I think of you and pray for you often. I am sorry I haven't kept in touch as I haven't been online much for months. I'll be blogging this month but probably not much after that. My heart is calling me in another direction at this time. Sending hugs and well wishes to you!

Another adorable fall card Carol! I love the sweet image and can definitely picture a cat/kitten playing in fall leaves! LOL I love the big fishtail banner and love how you used the sentiment on a smaller fishtail banner. The leaves in pattern papers are so pretty and look so nice on this card. Very cute indeed! Hugs, Brenda
