Oh bless me. I am, as my friends would say, being special :) I looked at the Papertake Challenge on Monday (yesterday) and saw that it had an autumn theme and went off and made this card using the Tweet Kit from Designs by Krista and my favourite stamp at the moment which is from Whiff of Joy. Only to go back…
Some sunshine for you all with this card using the Papertake Weekly Sketch and Designs by Krista Southern Sunrise papers. Still hanging on to the summer as best I can :) The swirl was made by printing the flourish embellishment from Krista's kit onto inkjet acetate, cutting it out and layering on top of a paper flower fixing with the brad.
