[sarahscards]

Beautiful Shary - thanks for sharing!

[craftymama]

Fab cards already ladies. Heres my attempt, might try and get another one done unless I run out of time!:lol: I have used PM inspirations paper and heat embossed some leaves over the paper, layered over some velum and used skeleton leaves with flowers from PM. TFL

[Mole]

Here's mine, if I may - it's also on the miscellanous thread, but it's definitely autumnal colours!

[EllePiggo]

Ooh, more fab cards, love all the colours.:D

I might just have another go at this one.

[Louly]

Wow! beautiful cards ladies:love:
Here's mine (two views of the same card)
I recycled an old necklace to create the leaves, they were pastel blue but I embossed them with some nice autumny colours.

There is some fab entries so far!

[Hysteri-CAL]

What a great idea to get 'free' charms

I love the little easel you've photographed it on - a really good idea, I tend to photograph mine flat but the edges always 'bow' because of lens distortion!

[Clare33]

Lovely cards Louly, Kitty and Bird! Some great inspiration, just need to get mine done now!

[Fairycakes1972]

I got these papers in a bundle of Chatterbox from one of the sponsors, and to be honest they have sat at the bottom of the pile for ages, however, they were perfect for this!! I love them now I've used them! Hope you like them!

This is one of my most favourite Chatterbox ranges !!! Beautiful cards !

[sarahscards]

Beautiful cards Fairycakes - those colours are just perfect for the autumnal feel :wub:

[Fairycakes1972]

:wub:Thank you!:wub:

[jennyap]

Absolutely gorgeous cards so far :wub:

Here's my first attempt (sorry for rubbish pic, light is awful here!)
Main images are Kodomo stamps, sentiment is by Scrappy Cat, and ribbon is Crate Paper.

Two more lovely cards Fairycakes and Jenny.

This is my card, the colours are not traditional Autumn ones but I thought the owl was and the background swirl stamps are by Autumn Leaves (not sure if that really counts!:nono:)

I cut the owl with my trusty Craft Robo, for more details visit by blog.

[jennyap]

Love it Clare, I think the colours are definitely autumnal.

[sarahscards]

Beautiful card Jenny

What talent we live amongst!

[sarahscards]

Oooooh Clare that's absolutely fabulous

[Fairycakes1972]

Clare, that owl is sooo cute!

[craftymama]

You ladies are so talented, I wish I could come up with the ideas for cards that you do.

I have managed to make a second card for the challenge and here it is, PM paper heat embossed, stamped leaves PM ribbon and a leaf brad I received in a swap ages ago, the happy birthday was gold but I coloured it with whispers permenant pens and was pleased to get the colour I did as it matches the brad really well. TFL

[Mole]

Cute owl card!
Love the colours you''ve used, Craftymama, they'd work well for 'man' cards!

[sarahscards]

Another lovely creation craftymama :D

Well I managed to do one card yesterday using BasicGREY Mellow papers (they do fit the Autumn theme so well). Used one of the sketches for the September card challenge along with a printed title on Bazzill and an Aunty Sarah's 5" bloomer - love these flowers (well I've got to really, haven't I????)

[jennyap]

Oooh, that's gorgeous Sarah. (Just sent you an email about kit subs btw!)

[sarahscards]

Thanks Jenny - have replied :D

[Samm]

Here's mine (http://samm-l.blogspot.com/2007/09/feeling-mellow-dcm-studio-s-and-debs.html), in Autumny colours, it can be sat either way, details are in the link.
