Sunflowers and Pumpkins!

I love sunflowers; they are so tall and majestic. That bright golden yellow color in contrast with the dark brown center and the green makes them irresistible, each time I see one I cannot take my eyes of it.
Pumpkins are always so different from one to another. Shape, size, color it is like this piece of changing art, no way to replicate them.
This image reflects what I’ve mentioned before; it is from Designed2Delight and is called Autumn Harvest.
Added ribbon and buttons to finish it up.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

• Autumn Harvest – Friday Image Challenge at Designed2Delight
• Sunny Sunflowers at Sugar Creek Hollow
• Challenge 32: Autumn Theme at Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings

Thanks!

New projects...



Time flies, or so they say. Each day I plan to do a million things and by the end of the day I realize that most of them are still pending.

This past week I was able to make some cards and posted them on Simply Scrapping Crafts (SSC) Site as part of the challenges.



March 2, 2011 Card Challenge: Stamp a background, but make it (at least partly) your cards focal point



March 4, 2011 CAS Challenge: make a 3-D effect as the focus of your card.

  

I also worked on a very special project: an accordion card.  Each detail made me fall in love with it.  The dig stamp is beautiful, and the flowers were handmade.

The base of the card was made with the Design Studio and my Cricut.

The flowers were made using the Cricut to cut out the shape.  Here is a link for the tutorial.

Some embossing was done on the cover of the card, as a background accent.

Each page has a special detail, they are interactive and fun.

Hope you enjoy this card as much as I do.

Thanks for visiting.

Love,

Julia
