Pollycraft Challenge #107 - *Autumn Colours*

A few more commissions and DT cards down, a few more still to go. But we're getting there. I have today off too, then I'm doing a four hour shift tomorrow. So..Another Monday, another Pollycraft Challenge!! ;)

So.. the deets for this week.. we wanna see

AUTUMN COLOURS

Ohhhh yum! I so wanted to do a halloween themed card - but then I got my eye on Sonny Honey Cloud - Poetry and just had to colour her up.


I paired her up with a sentiment from Paper Makeup Stamps - how perfect, please?! I have put this card together using papers from Basic Grey Max and Whiskers collection. This just goes to show a line, which you might think has been specifically designed for pets, can be used for numerous other designs. A lot of the papers are simple and generic - and the colours are very autumny! :)


I die cut the sentiment using a nesties label four and doodled and distressed all edges of my paper. The striped twill and bakers twine is from The Ribbon Girl and I added various Prima to the design. My whole image has been coloured using PM's - I have well and truely found a new love for these beauties!!


I have, as always, decorated the inside of the card using the same paper and a slice of white cardstock. I have torn two of the edges on each piece of patterned paper for a bit of a different look.
