Hello everyone! I hope you're ready to hear about a FUN challenge where you can play along for a chance to win a fabulous prize. I won the challenge at Words 2 Craft By back in July, and they invited me to join them as a Guest Designer for the September/October challenge. The theme for this challenge (like all their challenges) is determined by a famous quote. You may interpret this quote however you chose, and let it inspire your creativity. Here are your "words to craft by" for this challenge:
"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall" - F. Scott Fitzgerald
I created my card using lots of fabulous Prima Amber Moon products including the patterned papers, epoxy stickers (bird and sentiment), and beautiful flowers. I also tucked in some black, orange and gold Floral Stamens, and I placed the bird on a real twig. There's some black and some orange Burlap String in the floral cluster. And because I absolutely LOVE adding textures to my cards, I placed a piece of canvas on my patterned papers as well as a piece of natural burlap under the focal point. The finishing touches include some machine stitching, a Maya Road stick pin and some sequins.
It's always fun creating Autumn cards. I absolutely love this sweet Amber Moon collection from Prima, and it was a perfect choice for this challenge. One of the patterned papers I used has leaves and pumpkins on it....so cute!
I really do hope that you will stop by to play along in this fun challenge. All their DT Members have created cards to inspire you, and you will find them on the Words 2 Craft By Challenge Blog along with their (simple) rules. And wait til you see the prize they are offering. You will definitely want to play along, and I know they will enjoy having you join the fun.
Have a blessed day, and thanks again for stopping by today!
