Autumn inspiration card
For the whole month of October the Penny Black at Allsorts challenge is an inspirational picture challenge. My card was inspired by the picture. I had thoughts of the start of Autumn when colours start to fade and the Butterfly tries to find the last of the flower nectar.
I had some sheets of Penny Black Stickeroos that I have been itching to use for a while and my image is from the Romance of flowers sheet. They cost approx. £1.50 a sheet and you get between 4 and 18 assorted images on each sheet. Now I call that a bargain and the images are delightful. If you don't have any PB stamps why not use stickeroos. Why not pop over to the Penny Black at Allsorts blog and check out the beautiful cards the Dt have made.
Before I started my card I colour co-ordinated the card, papers and embellishments with an Autumn colour theme in mind and a bit of a vintage feel to it. I also used recycled ribbon from a box of Thorntons chocolates that matched perfectly. I am so pleased with the end result. As usual I have entered my card into several challenges that are listed below.
