Autumn Wishes!

With so many people enjoying autumn, I thought this image from The Paper Shelter named Autumn Leaves was perfect for my card at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog where the topic this week is EASEL CARDS.

Right off the bat, let me say that the colors did not photograph well and that the gray of my little image's pants is dark sage green. I didn't use any gray anywhere, but my camera must like the color gray. I colored my image with Copics and used Spellbinders dies to make my card and my tag. The felt leaves were purchased from Creative Images at a convention here in Phoenix. The pinecones, jewels and sheer ribbon are from my collection of supplies. Here's a close up of my image (darn, those pants look so gray):

I added just a touch of Stardust Stickles to the butterfly hitching a ride on the leaf and a touch of Clear Rock Candy Stickles to the pom-pom on the hat. Here's a side view of my card.

 

The challenge at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog is sponsored by our own The Paper Shelter! This little image comes with a black and white version, a colored version, a colored background and then the colored image on top of the colored background! You have so many options when you buy a digital at The Paper Shelter!  Look at the difference in prizes if you use one of the images from The Paper Shelter in the challenge:

Now that you've visited my blog and have seen my easel card, please click on over to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog and take a look at the awesome easel cards the Design Team has made to inspire you.

BTW, this was the third easel card I've ever made. I found the recipe when I Googled "easel cards". If you haven't ever made an easel card, don't let that stop you since they're not difficult to make and are a great card to give to someone since they sit so nice on a desk.
