Circle Fall Birthday Card

 Hello again Crafty Friends! This card was inspired by the theme at AAA Birthday Challenge and all the Fall themed challenges.


I die-cut the gorgeous patterned paper from Stampin Up using Lil' Inkers stitched circle die and adhered it to a card base cut from kraft cardstock.  The leaves were cut with The Greetery Magnolia Wreath die. 
The leaves were coloured with Distress Oxides and Nuvo Shimmer Powder.
The sentiment die is from Simon Says Stamp and was shaded with (new to me) Altenew Inks, using a blending brush tool.  To finish I added the sequins.

More Autumn Cards

 Hi there Crafty Friends. I'm on a mission to use my new purchases and NBUS stash. So here is a couple of cards I made over the last few days.

The coverplate is from Concord & 9th and I new I had to buy it, the minute I saw it!

I used Distress Ink and Nuvo Shimmer Powder for the leaves and Champagne colour glitter cardstock for the stems and acorns. 
The patterned paper is from Stampin Up and the setiment from Altenew.

This time I made a stencil with the die-cut outline of leaves and sponged Distress Inks. Then I stamped Hero Arts 'Friends' Background stamp over the leaves. Once again I used Stampin Up patterned paper.
The sentiment is from Concord & 9th Lace Leaf.

I'm sharing my cards at the following challenges:-
