Hello everyone, and welcome to my new followers.
Well, days don't get much better than this. I've been watching some Formula 1 action over breakfast, I'm meeting my wonderful Mum and Sister at Exeter craft show AND today is my first outing as a Guest Designer for Pink Gem Designs.

Thank you so much for inviting me peeps :)
Our challenge for the next fortnight at A Gem of a Challenge is Autumn and this is my 'inspiration' card.
and inside
I've used the digistamp Ollie on Branch from Pink Gem Designs, which they very generously gave me. You get the design as a JPEG and a PNG, in both the black/white AND coloured versions.
I brought the coloured PNG version into Craft Artist and used a background from the Aviary English Garden digikit (stretched and recoloured). I made a copy of Ollie and then flipped and shrank him a bit. I wanted the small one to sit on top of the bigger one so I removed the branch part of the image with the Erase Tool, then it was just a case of manoeuvring him into position. I then copied them both and flipped them to get the pair on the right hand side. The sentiment was done with the 'Adolpho' font.
For the front of the card I die cut a circle in some Basic Grey paper and then dry embossed it using the Wood Grain folder from We R Memory Keepers. Because my paper was A5 and the folder is only 6x6" I had to run it through twice - I've used raffia to hide the join.
The leaves were cut from various papers in my stash using a Cuttlebug die and attached with silicon glue.
Please pop over to A Gem of a Challenge to see more inspiration from the very talented team.
