Time For Tea Designs September Challenge Reminder 3 - Autumn Colours

I'm here today to remind you about the Autumn Colours challenge going on at T4TD.

I've not gone for the usual Autumn scene card today but indulged my love of all things chocolatey instead - well the colours are very similar and that could be why I love Autumn so much!

I've used the adorable mouse and cupcake from Hello Cupcake and coloured them up in browns.

I then framed it up with a caramel card using the Mini Slimline Scallop die and popped in a piece of paper from Brighter Days as my background.

Supplies:

Stamps: T4TD, Hello Cupcake + dies

Inks: Memento, tuxedo black

Die: T4TD, Mini Slimline Scallop

Paper: T4TD, Brighter Days

Pens: Copic, R02, R89, Y21, Y26, Y28, Y35, E25, E27, E35, E37; Sakura white glaze

Thanks so much for looking today, I really appreciate it.

Have you played along with the glorious Autumn Colours in Time For Tea Designs September challenge?

Well here's a bit more DT inspiration for you.

Although the colours are autumnal I used them in more of a summery way and focussed on the beautiful burgundy reds the leaves turn as my starting point using the Beehive Slimline die.

The background was created using the Bokeh Bubbles stencil inked up in some sunshiny yellows.

Then I finished it all off with the delightful bees from Bee Happy.

Supplies:

Stamps: T4TD, Bee Happy + dies

Inks: Ranger distress oxide, dried marigold, wild honey; Memento, tuxedo black

Die: T4TD Bee Hive Slimline 

Stencil: T4TD, Bokeh Bubbles

Time For Tea Designs September Challenge Reminder 1 - Autumn Colours

I'm here today to remind you about the September Challenge at Time For Tea Designs.

Autumn is my favourite season as I love the colours, the cooler evenings and the often bright sunny days.

And as Autumn is always associated with trees and leaves in my head that's the route I went with my card.

The tree is cut four times in autumnal shades using the Tree of Love Cover Plate die. I then pieced the negative bits back into the background.

I used the cute elephant from Life's Up And Downs and made sure he was all snug with the addition of the woolly hat.

And a tree wouldn't be complete without some birds. These two are from the Brighter Days stamp set.

Supplies:

Stamps: T4TD, Life's Ups & Downs + dies, Brighter Days + dies

Inks: Memento, tuxedo black

Die: T4TD, Tree of Love Cover Plate

Pens: Copic, R37, R59, Y18, Y19, Y21, Y26, Y28, YR16, YR68, E29, E37; Sakura white glaze

Card: Papermill Direct

As well as my card there are two absolutely outstanding cards on the challenge blog created by Trina P. How awesome is her colouring - you have to go take a look, HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I appreciate it so much.

T4TD September Challenge - Autumn Colours

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Time For Tea Designs.

Autumn has to be my favourite season so of course I've joined in with a card using beautiful autumnal colours.

I started by creating the background using the Hillside Village stamp set and coloured it up using autumnal shades. The grass was cut using the Landscape Edge die. 

Next I cut a frame using the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame die and then I moved on to the characters. The fox, mouse and pile of leaves are from Woodland Critters and the wheelbarrow is from Blooming Bunnies.

The greeting is from Be Kind Be You and I thought it was appropriate to my little scene as they are obviously making preparations for that long winter nap.

This will be the last T4TD challenge for 2021. So be sure to get creating and try to win the £25 prize that is on offer. Find the link up HERE.

Thanks so much for looking today, I really appreciate you taking the time.
