From Autumn to Fall

Hello Nomad friends.  I couldn't find anyone to craft with this weekend so I suppose I must entertain myself.  Thanks to all those challenge blogs out there for giving me themes to craft to.   I really appreciate you.  

Starting with an autumn themed tag inspired by quite a few challenges. 

 

This little fox is a favourite of mine.  I used two different autumn leaf patterned papers from Papirdesigns, Tur i Skogen Fargefest og Høstblad, and cut the top of my tag with Papirdesigns Bølgekant circle dies.  Then I used the same dies to cut a small circle and a part circle from the darker leaf paper.  I stamped the small circle with the friend stamp from Papirdesign Nyt Livet and stamped the fox from  Revestreker, coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut.  A piece of my favourite autumnal wool and done!!

Mrs A has just started a new butterfly challenge and the card fold was intriguing and by jolly, I think I have hit a full house!!!!


Mrs A is calling this a Slide and Lock card.  It's a gatefold with a very nifty closer.  Me likes.  Very easy to make and very fun.  I've been waiting to pull out this Kort og Godt butterfly patterned card for this challenge!!!   Butterflies everywhere!!!!  I die cut the Marianne Designs butterfly in the challenge colours, I've used a stitch die for the circles and also inside. 

Inside I lined the three panels with the sea green paper stamped with some text in a similar green ink and the pink paper oval cut with a Sizzix stitch die.

And finally a little Halloween using a scratch paper panel I embossed with a Sizzix Spiderweb embossing folder and sanded off the black wax to give this holographic rainbow!!!

I used a kraft card base and cut the rainbow panel and a kraft panel with Taylored Expressions Colour Block Cutting Plate.  Then I pieced the rainbow rectangles into the kraft frame.  I stamped the witch and sentiment from Taylored Expressions Moka Tabitha on kraft card, cut them out and coloured the witch in a rainbow of Promarker colours.
