Double D Challenge: Fall Colors


Hi everyone!  Fall Colors is our theme for the Double D challenge today.  Have a look at our inspiration board below.  Don't you just love all that scenic gorgeousness? 



A maple leaves mini-stencil is our prize for a random winner.  Creative winners are by team vote.




I hope it's not too late in the fall for a sunflower card.  I had a Cottage Cutz die I wanted to be sure and use this year, but mostly it's the Brutus Monroe Autumn Tapestries patterned paper I'm in love with, sigh.  So rich against the black.  Too bad its season is so short, but fortunately there are a few floral pieces in the collection that will work for any season.



It wasn't a good picture day and I'm having some trouble with my camera... or my eyes... something.  Behind the die cut image I used vanilla CS which I embossed with SU's retired Subtle embossing folder.  The sprinkles were punched from the patterned paper and coated with glossy glaze.  Just a little autumn fun for a November birthday.



There are all kinds of fall colors to see on the Double D blog, so come check out the team's cards and then help fill the gallery with your beautiful fall color choices.  I'll be looking forward to seeing you there!

Have a happy day!

OMStars . . . this is GORGEOUS! LOVE that BM paper (don't think I have that one ... hmmm)! You've paired the perfect focus image with your barrel of sunflowers to go with this beautiful paper. LOVE the little sentiment tag and your little sprinkle embellishments ... what a creative idea!! LOVE IT (can you tell teehee).
