2019 card challenge - October

Morning all!

This month's challenge takes on a seasonal feel and celebrates the colours, sentiments, and activities of autumn and October in particular. If you're in denial about the cooler weather and darker nights, there's still plenty of scope for other interpretations! :)

Thanks Nat, I am in the middle of tearing the craft room apart looking for a bag of leaves I bought recently for a LO and just shoved away somewhere. It's like searching for Lord Lucan.:rolleyes:

Lovely prompts Nat. Thank you.
Good luck finding Lord Lucan Susie!

I didn't find him, he's probably in the loft and neither did the bag of leaves, so I forced myself to go to The Works and buy some more.:rolleyes:

Ok so I accepted your prompt Nat.. the Triangles for Christmas trees.. here are some I made earlier

So pretty and classy!:)

A Halloween themed card.

Ooh a scaredy cat!!

No he is cute like him :rolleyes:
Your cards too Elaine

Lovely card Ellie and he's gorgeous although the Boo in the corner is a bit creepy looking.:lol:

Love those Christmas cards Elaine. Nice colour scheme. I have that tree punch, I may copy the design :) is that washi or PP you’ve used ?

Ellie, lovely Halloween kitty card :) is the cat a die ?

Thanks Alison. It’s not a die. I downloaded it from Epson I think. Printed it onto photo paper and
then cut it out .
Ellie

Ooh clever you. I must remember to use the puter more for crafting. I use it purely for information and ideas, never for downloading material. Not having a decent printer to hand doesn’t help :)

We’ve just bought a new one. It scans as well.
Photos are a lot more colourful .
Ellie

Here’s a quick one from me, with strips of circles, inspired by the pumpkin tower !

That is gorgeous Alison, love the circle and colours, who is it for?

Thanks. It’s for DD’s friend:)

lovely Alison modern she will like it

Striking card Alison. Very young and trendy, perfect for a young lady!
My Christmas cards are washi taped Alison, then the trees are punched and raised on foam pads.

Its for her friend in hospital, i wanted to keep it fairly neutral :)

Having read your other post Alison, I think you've hit just the right note with that card.

Here’s a house one ...

Brilliant card Alison and you have lovely handwriting. I just love the little houses and the way you've made one stand out is such a clever idea.

That is really lovely Jolene, love the colours and that background paper is very pretty.

Gorgeous card Jolene. I especially like the side panel and the pretty colours.
Ellie

Love your card Jolene :D

It's been lovely to see all your takes on the October prompt - definitely a great example of how you can interpret some key design elements in many ways. :D

I'm just about to share the November prompt, so if you're a fan of little houses and trees you''l be very happy. ;)
