Leave a trail...

I was thinking fall when creating this card, and the lovely colours to be found at this time of year. Although I do enjoy summer, spring and fall are my favourite seasons, as intense heat and bitter cold are just not for me!

It is my second week as GDT at Crafts 4 Eternity, and the challenge this week is to make an aperture card using the following sketch.

This was a first for me, a bit more of a challenge, but it is always fun to try something new.

My card, being made from brown cardstock, is layered inside with a light coloured paper and the plaid DP. The sentiment is on the inside of the card, placed so that it shows through the aperture(opening).

All papers have been sponged with distress ink, which mellows and blends the colours, and a little extra detail is provided by the ribbon, threaded through a MS punched edging.

The image used, from Mo's Digital Pencil, was worked with water colour pencils, then cut out and attached with small pop dots. A little faux stitching and a punched butterfly seems to be all the extra that it needs, so I think I will leave it at that. Hopefully I have provided you with some inspiration, and you will give this week's challenge a go. Have fun!
