Morning! Today is an exciting day as it is the launch of the new monthly Crafty Calendar Challenge blog! Our first ever challenge for you is to make a card with an autumn theme, this can be by colours, image, whatever takes your fancy! There is also a please include option of plants/vegetation. We also have a fantastic prize kindly donated by this month's sponsor, Chris from Sketching Stamper Digi-stamps!
I had great fun with my card. Originally it was going to have the autumn Oakley from Whiff of Joy sat on the mushroom but once I'd got my papers on I had a different idea to make this a fun card for my Dad's birthday, so just used the gorgeous mushroom which is also from Whiff of Joy. I don't know what on earth made me think of the sentiment, sorry, it is incredibly cheesey but funny don't you think!
I have added lots of punched leaves for a real autumn feel, and they're growing out from the tears in the paper all over the place....
....as you can see!!!!
I have used another Whiff of Joy stamp in the bottom corner and added yet more leaves! Well it is autumn, they get everywhere don't they LOL! All the papers have been distressed with Tea Dye distress ink and I have also stamped a gorgeous Stempelglede grunge flourish around the edges with espresso coloured ink.
I have fully decorated the inside also, and the sentiment carries on from the front. So the whole thing says "Ain't mushroom.......for improvement with a Dad like you!" LOL, oh dear, I truly am sorry but it tickled me at the time and male cards are difficult aren't they?!
Hope you like it and aren't groaning too much at the cheesey sentiment! Do check out the rest of the DT's work and I hope you'll join us for this month's challenge!Image: Mushroom from Whiff of Joy coloured with copics
