This week at
it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Fall Colours!" and I think we all know what that means.
I tell ya, autumn here in midwestern Ontario has been GORGEOUS. I can't even remember when it has last rained and the temps have been consistently in the mid to high 20s (Celsius) with very little wind. Average temps this time of year are 13ºC as highs with 5ºC for lows. For most of September, our low temps have been higher than our average high temperature. Sincerely hoping we don't pay for this with a wicked winter!
But, you didn't pop by to hear me brag about our beautiful weather, you came to see what I made. I challenged myself to do something a bit unusual for a fall colours challenge and I made a.....
....wedding card! I used mostly golds/yellows, terracotta, black, and browns on this make with a tiny bit of green and and grey. And there you have it, a card using fall colours that's not about fall. Unless, it gets used as a card for an autumn wedding. Then it'll be both! (: Digi is a favourite of mine from Tiddly Inks.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

ReplyDeleteInteresting to hear about your weather. It sounds pretty much the same as ours in Yorkshire, UK right now. Today is 20C, and supposed to get warmer next week, but the average high is usually 13C . It's crazy!

Thanks for the Vellum tip. Yes, despite the glue dots my vellum has warped before my eyes.
