Autumnal

Posted on by Liz

Time for another one I have coloured myself. An autumn one. We are mid-autumn here at the moment and it is so pretty and colourful outside. I think I have to go for a walk just to take photos of it one day next week. But yes, anyway, card.

The image I have coloured is an Elisabeth Bell one from the colouring pads at The Hobby House. I coloured it in with copics. I have used plain stock card for the corners and the brown paper is by Tim Holtz, and I don’t remember where the purple one is from. The flowers and ribbon are by Wild Orchid Crafts and the sentiment is by Kort og Godt. I have also used various dies and punches: Dienamics, Martha Stewart and QuicKutz. Ok, it’s not quite that untidy and hard to find things, but you get the gist, haha. The jeweled butterfly is purchased at a local shop.

Another simple cards; one of my favourites. Maybe that’s because it’s purple… Anyway, the image I have used is a pre-coloured topper by Lili of the Valley, and the sentiment stamp is also from there. The ribbon and bow are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the paper is by Papermania. I added a small row on purple rhinestones and used tiny yellow ones for the flowers also.

Make sure you create something today, after all it is World Card Making day! 🙂

When I was making this card, I was just having fun with dies and punches really. I have used a Martha Stewart puncher to make the bottom purple flowery shape, a couple of QuicKutz dies and a doily from Papermania to layer it up. The other smaller dies are also by Martha Stewart. The friendship recipe stamp is from Lili of the Valley and the image is by Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet which I have coloured in with copics. I purchased the pearls at a local shop and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

My boyfriend’s mom’s birthday was coming up and he really liked a card I had made just a few days beforehand. You can see it on the right here. So I used that as inspiration and ended up getting a tad carried away with butterflies. I have made butterflies from a Tim Holtz die (the ones on top), stand alone butterflies from a Martha Stewart puncher and embedded butterflies on the side. The tiny butterflies that got cut out with the third die were also put on here and there around the card: some of them even on the flowers.

The main image is a pre-coloured one from Lili of the Valley.  I used a doily from Wild Orchid Crafts and put it mostly behind the image to break up the green a bit.  The two different patterned purple papers are by Papermania, whereas the green one is by First Edition Paper. I have used ribbon from a local shop and from Wild Orchid Crafts. The flowers are also all from WOC. Lastly I used a Martha Stewart puncher for the leaves and an alphabet set to create two of each letter (one green and one purple) to make them stand out more.

Pre-coloured toppers are fantastic! They are so easy to use and helps make a card a lot faster because there is no colouring involved! The adorable one is by Sylvia Zet at The Hobby House. It was easy to pick colours to go with for sure. The papers are from Papermania and Tim Holtz. The lace is from a local shop and the ribbon, bow and flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts. The small buttons are card candi from Craftwork Cards, the spirals are by Kort og Godt and the sentiment is by Lili of the Valley and inked with Memento. The leaves are, as usual, made with a Martha Stewart puncher.
