Yikes - Autumn!

By
Well there is definitely a nip in the air and the leaves on our cherry tree are starting to turn yellow - guess that's summer over with!
Today's card is reflecting the autumnal feel as I have used the stamp set Autumn Days and the colours I have chosen are browns, oranges and golds. I also used the sketch from this week's Simply Stampin' challenge
Here is my card
I started off with a cream card base onto which I layered some Creamy Caramel card stock. I then layered with Very Vanilla. Smaller mats were cut in Really Rust and Peach Parfait. These were again layered with Very Vanilla and stamped on to with the Autumn Days set and the oak leaf from French Foliage. The pheasant has been inked up with more than one colour and cut out and attached with 3D foam pads. The ribbon is organza and matched quite nicely with the card stock and the leaves in the corner are also attached with 3D foam pads. A few gems finish it off along with a bow made from the organza ribbon.
I am also entering this card into the Polka Doodles challenge where the theme is Autumn Leaves.
Have a great weekend folks - Jacqueline xx

    Absolutely stunning Jacqueline! Love the way you've made French Foliage look as if it belongs to the Autumn Days set. Vx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
