Welcome Autumn.....

Hello everyone: Today is the first day of Autumn, although the weather still feels like Summer but, the days are getting shorter and some of the trees around my house are already starting to show a hint of gold and orange, specially at the top. I love this time of the year, it's my most favorite so, I have this card to share with you that I will link to some challenges at the end of this post.


This beautiful Acorn and Oak Tree leaves are from a Power Poppy by Marcella Hawley stamp set called Olive and Oak. I stamped the image onto a piece of Canson water color paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with SU markers and the aqua painter, I added a bit of shadowing with my Prismacolor pencils.
The frame is done with the retired Dotted Scalloped punch from Stampin Up!. I love how pretty this looks and how super simple it's to make. You can check the video HERE if you'd like.
**********************************************************************
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.


Both the sentiments in front and inside are from the same beautiful set.
The Oak leaf is from a Our Daily Bread set called "Autumn Blessings".

I would like to enter this card onto the following challenges.
Fairy Tale Challenge #151 "Fallen Leaves"
Cards Und More Challenge #167 "No DSP"
Creative Moments Challenge "Anything Goes with a twist of Fall Colors"
Moo Mania "Fall Foliage"
CASOLOGY week #216 FRAME.


Thank you for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.

Thank you Susi, my second picture is the inside of the card, I made a decision of finishing all of my cards on the inside, it saves me a lot of time when I mail them.
