Autumn Leaves Frame

Hello and Happy Saturday Friends!  I hope you have something fun planned for today, doing what you enjoy.  I have a quick share featuring a lovely digital image from Alex Syberia Designs titled Autumn Leaves Card Panel.

I've colored the image using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Alcohol Markers, and I like how the vivid colors really make the images POP.

As the name suggests, the image is sized to print out as a card sized panel, and I've resized just slightly in order to add a thin black mat behind. The panel, as is, prints as a A2 size (4.25"x5.5"), I've created the sentiment on my computer and inserted it before printing the panel.

To finish the design, I've splattered with Gold and White Posca Paint Pens, no other bells and whistles were added.  It was a fun and relaxing color, and I'm happy with the end result.  

That's all from me today, I'm off to get housework done (YAY me) and then settle in for a bit of crafting this afternoon.  It's an overcast and rainy day here so time at the craft table will be welcome.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenge - October 2025

Happy Wednesday Friends!  Wow, it's October and Autumn is here, hopefully you are experiencing cooler weather and seeing lots of beautiful Fall Colors.  Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.  Our generous sponsors this month are Varada Sharma Designs and Scrappy Tails Crafts and our Optional Twist is: Cute or Creepy.

For my design team project, I've used images from the Fairy Botanicals Stamp and Coordinating Die Sets by Scrappy Tails Crafts, to create a cute Autumn card.  

I've colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers and the patterned papers are from the "Fall Fun" 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella.  I've also followed Sketch #10 by Mary at Cardz TV, and you can find all her FREE sketches HERE. 

After die cutting the image, foam pads were added and adhered to the oval die cut mini panel.  The sentiment has been popped on craft foam as well, and is from an Autumn sentiment strip pack from Simon Says Stamp.  Lastly, I've added gold sequins to finish off the design.  

I forgot to mention that I've scored a line around the perimeter of the brown mat to add a bit more interest, and it also helped me line up the squares.  

We hope you'll join us at the Challenge this month, and share your crafty creations. You may even want to try the Optional Twist of Cute or Creepy.  So, until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Autumn Blessings

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Monday!  I trust your weekend was fabulous and you had time to do soemthing you enjoy.  It's time for a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor this week is Beccy's Place.  For my team project this round, I've colored a digital image from the Autumn Blessing Digital Set provided by our sponsor.

This is such a lovely Autumn image and I've colored it using alcohol markers.  I've kept the design very sweet and simple, allowing the image to take center stage.

Not many bells & whistles added however I did add 3 gold gems from Kat Scrappiness and the sentiment is from a Simons Says Stamp sentiment strip pack, containing Thanksgiving and Autumn related sentiments.

Please join us at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week and enter your lovely, creative projects.  We would love to visit with you and see what loveliness you create.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
