Crafty Calendar Challenge #1, One Stop Craft Challenge and Our Creative Corner Challenge

Here is the very first  Crafty Calendar Challenge!

This is an excellent new challenge blog set up by Georgia who is only 13! Amazing! 

She has a very talented design team behind her as well,  including a very good friend of mine, so I just had to have a go at this. 

The first challenge is to make an "Autumn Card" with an optional "Plants of Vegetation", so I have added some flowery backing paper.
You have till 8pm on the 5th November to make a card! Go on have a go!
I loved making this card, it was great fun!


I would also like to add this into the One Stop Craft Challenge, their subject is "Autumn Inspiration", their design team have come up with some wonderful cards  as well. Their design team have come up with some lovely cards.This challenge is on till next Saturday.


This is turning into a mega post, I have just found another challenge which this fits into! The people over at Our Creative Corner have a challenge this week with a "Fall/Winter" theme. Pop over and see what their design team have come up with.There is no time limit on this challenge.


I used a sizzix leaf die, cutting out brown, orange and dark green card/tissue paper. The reason I used tissue paper for the orange leaves was to try to take on the illusion of the fragility of the leaf as it falls off the tree and then gets thinner and crispier as it dries out. I have used Kay backing paper and then used some of the dark brown paper which I cut out the dark brown leaves from,  to use as a border on the left.
I stamped and inked the Sugar Nellie "Hug in a Mug" stamp onto white card, stuck this in the middle of the card, then surrounded it with the leaves I die cut.
