A very Happy Friday Eve,
It is time for our 'Inspired By Words' challenge. We have gone all poetic on you this week and have a quote from the American Poet William Callum Bryant:
'Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile'
With this challenge you can use any of these words or the whole phrase. For example you might want to focus on Autumn or Smile but you could also use any of the other words. We would love to see what you might come up with for 'last'. Just let your creativity bloom!
This week our Guest Designer is the very talented Glenda
Glenda's blog My Paper Cat is a joy to visit. Check out her wonderful stitching designs here
This week I decided to focus on 'Autumn'
Unfortunately my Mum needed a sympathy card and I thought these Autumn colours would give a calming feel to the card. I just masked off a strip and used orange and yellow ink randomly on these leaves and stamped them repeatedly.
For this lay out I used the sketch at Sovushka Slavia
I will enter this into the 'Autumn Colours' challenge at Make My Monday and the photo challenge at (PIN)spirational Challenge
And also the CAS challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More
You've captured the true look of autumnal leaves on your card, so elegant and you did great with this sketch.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous autumn leaves and so suitable for a sympathy card. The leaves are only just starting to turn but it does lift the spirits to see a maple in it's full autumnal glory.
