Shades of Autumn

The challenge at 
Fussy and Fancy 
is being hosted by our very talented and creative Jo
and she has chosen the theme
'Shades of Autumn'.

Out sponsor is Wild Orchard Crafts.

I love Autumn
(well most of the time, once the leaves fall it's kind of 'ugh' then,
not near as much fun raking them as seeing them in all their glorious colors)!!

But I also love to create for the Fall months,
So many pretty colors to work with!



This card came together very quickly
by using a few of my favorite die cuts (listed below)
and flowers I bought on clearance this Spring.
Thought it was about time to use a few
put together in layers along with a few 'neglected' brads!



I added a strip of burlap form my stash on a newly
purchased EB folder called 'Heather's Lace'
of course I managed to cover most of it up
with my flowers and leaves.
A little birdie (can you see him?)
was added that I had snipped off another die
and saved for further use, guess this was it...lol!

So head on over to the Fussy and Fancy blog
and see all the beautiful and creative projects
my teammates have created!

This is awesome Diane! I love your cluster for flowers and the added bird is a perfect touch. You are so clever to use that strip of burlap and the fall colored flower centers! GREAT card and I agree ... love this time of year when the leaves are in such glorious color ON THE TREES ... not so much once they've fallen! LOL

Wow, wow! Love the flowers on burlap and those pretty fall colors on a yellow background. Oh, and the bird perched in there. This is fantastic, Diane!

The burlap strip is such a pretty contrast to your fall colored bouquet. Very pleasing palette!
