We have our new challenge on Mo's DP2 which is Autumn colors and there is also a photo to inspire you:
life seems to be dealing me a few challenges lately too, so if i am not around as much as i would like to be its not for lack of want but rather for lack of time. I have also noticed that i have hit a small but significant milestone in my blog-a-sphere and have hit the 600 followers mark aswell as went over the 100 000 hits a while back so will certainly look through all the crafting goodies and hope i can offer up some candy. Look out for it closer to the end of November once i have moved into our new Home.
for my card today i decided that since we are heading into summer in Africa it would be nice to use a summery image, even though the challenge calls for autumn colors i got to use the oranges etc. My image is "Pineapple girl" available HERE from Mo's store, where you will surely find an array of fabulous images to inspire any occasion.
The leaves and flowers were made using the Marianne dies, must say i was a little dissapointed by the dies and ended up cutting a few of my own flowers as i found the die made them quite big. i added a touch of diamond stickles to the edges of the rolled roses and wanted to leave the card as CAS as possible so as not to over power the image.
Look forward to seeing what you all come up with for this challenge

P.S: keep the peepers peeled for that candy closer to November

ReplyDeleteTo think you're going into summer while we're all cooling down, doesn't seem fair somehow...ok, I guess it is. lol
I hope all goes well with your move!
This is gorgeous Paola. I love the flowers and the soft colors you chose. What a great card for this challenge. I have yet to color her up. Love this.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card my friend! I love the softer tones of autumn you chose and of course that sweet image. Your coloring - well - it just doesn't get any better than that!!! Nice, clean and simple card with the perfect amount of embellies.
