Cristina's companion challenge Falling for Fall

Hey guys! So this weeks companion challenge over at Crafting with Cristina was to create a fall inspired project using the colours red, gold, yellow and browns aswell as having leaves somewhere. For my project i decided to make a card.

The card size i made was 4 x 4 which i rounded the corners of. I then added a layer of red paper and then a layer of orange card stock which i ran through my big shot and mustard yellow which i stamped onto with a leaf stamp and wrapped a piece of yellow ric rac around trhe middle to hide the join.

Next i used the Autumn Silhouettes clear stamp set from Kanban to stamp the dark brown negative and then used the positive stamp to stamp the tree in a mustard colour. I then layered that on the same red paper and attached it to my card front with foam pads.

Lastly i used a happy birthday stamp from the same set and the same brown ink to stamp a greeting and layered that on red paper and attached it with foam pads.

I love the colours of this card as i love love love autumn and no its not just because thats when my birthday is but i love the change of the weather and the dark nights and the changing of the leaves, its just my favourite!

Lastly this is a quick picture of a small notepad that i have altered using DCWV Hippie Chic paper stack and some ribbon. Not too sure what im going to use it for yet i just have it displayed on my craft desk so i can look at it lol.
Hope you have enjoyed the card and the notebook and i will be back in a couple of days with another update!
Thanks for stopping by!
