Autumn/Fall


is my favourite time of year, the colours are just wonderful....

And guess what..Autumn/Fall is the next challenge theme for you at House Mouse and Friends !!

Here's my second GDT card,  I 've used a super HMD stamp called "Fall Float"

 My background paper was a piece from my stash which I embossed with a swirly pattern and then inked over it. I then coloured a scrap piece of white card with several distress inks in greens,yellows and pinks and repeat stamped just the leaf and then fussy cut them out. Don't they look real.....

Next I stamped the super cute mouse onto white card, coloured in with Spectrum Noir pens and paper pieced the leaf  and stamped the sentiment. Doesn't show up very well, but I also made a cloud effect round him with a blue distress ink.


Finished off with adding a piece of yellow net ribbon, then made a bow, added a couple of the leaves and a button !!

HI Diane!! Love your gorgeous card. WOW!! You fussy cut out all those leaves?? Thats amazing and awesome! The net ribbo is the perfect finishing touch. I actually had started to place together all the die cuts colorful leaves I was going to use right behind my main panel - then I got distracted by kids - then didnt come back to my card for about 9 hours. When I did, it was time to crate the post for today! As I was, I saw your wonderful creation and how you had the same idea with the same image. Crazy huh?? I LOVED that we had the same thoughts, but now I am changing mine up a bit. :) Beautiful design here. Thanks for being our special Guest Designer at HMFMC. We are so happy to have you working alongside us.
