Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #77: Autumn or Autumn Festivals, NOT Hallowe'en

I'm late posting this because my OH took his computer to work - how dare he! I never use the schedule thingy but I think I'm going to have to try it.

So onto the new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers which is hosted by the very talented Josephine. 

She says "There are always so many Hallowe'en challenges around! So instead of creating a Hallowe'en card I would like to see something that depicts the season of Autumn, or maybe Harvest Festival, Guy Fawkes, Diwali or some other festival that happens in the Autumn. If your theme is a lesser-known festival, please tell us about it in your post! But remember, this is not a Hallowe'en challenge, any Hallowe'en enteries will be deleted!"

Milk coffee Digital Stamps
Cute digis for cute creations

With a prize of 5 digital stamps 

 

I'd never heard of this company before but I'm totally in love with the images available from them and I chose one for my creation this time round.

 MilkCoffee - Michelle playing with fallen leaves in Autumn

First Edition Papers - Desert Blooms

 Buttons and threads from stash

I coloured the image with a mix of Derwent Coloursoft pencils and WHSmith ones.

close up of Michelle, isn't she cute?

I was inspired to make a Bonfire Party invitation, this is the inside of the "card". I created the invite on my computer and used a perforated blade to create a detachable R.S.V.P.

I do hope you'll join in with the challenge this time round, it really made me think about what to create - remember NO Hallowe'en cards! Also, make sure you check out the Crafty Cardmakers blog as there really is some wonderful work from the DT.
