October gave a party

Hi there

This card was inspired by the George Cooper poem that I've used on it. It seemed perfect for Autumn and the image from Whoopsi Daisy matched it so well. It also gave me the chance to use the skeleton leaves I've had since circa 2005 and never used!

The text reads:

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper

Texture

This image from Whoopsi Daisy is so cute. It's from sheet 434 and could be used for Birthdays, Christmas or any other occasions simply by changing the colour and background paper.

I decided on a really simple pink and white theme as was focusing on texture and decided to use various embossing folders and distress ink to create the layers and shades. Its then been finished with ribbon and pearls and a sentiment saying "Just for You"

I've been wanting to try out a pop up card for a while and here is my first attempt.

I think pink and green make a lovely bright colour combination. The image is from Tiddly Inks and is so cute.

The pop up mechanism is very basic, just a couple of little cuts in the spine of the card which are then pushed out the inversely to the spine

Every Girl Needs a Red Dress

I love black red and white as a combinaton. I had a few left over backround papers in shades of black, grey and white which I thought worked well together to make a contrast background to this lovely impage from Saturated Canary.

I'm practicing different coloured hair at the moment and think so far brunnett hair is winning!

Cinderella

"Cinderella - proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life!" - lol, what a fab sentiment and ideal for this image from saturated canary.

A little glitz and glamour added with glitter to the gloves and shoe
