All Occasion Fall Themed Card For A Vintage Journey



Hello friends! It's my turn to host our latest challenge at A Vintage Journey, and I have chosen the theme 'Autumn Splendor'.

With the glorious colours of fall it would be oh so nice to see some falling leaves, pumpkins, acorns or any other favourite images that brings fall to mind. Just remember to create your project in our preferred styles of vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.

 Autumn is my favorite season. I love the blue, blue skies dotted with white fluffy clouds, the bold colors of the changing leaves and the way the light hits everything differently. I chose to make a simple card depicting some of these colors. Since I'm the host of this challenge, I will be posting my tutorial for this project at A Vintage Journey in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, here are a couple of close ups of my card.




My fellow Creative Guides at A Vintage Journey have created some beautiful Autumn inspiration , so please  hop on over HERE to see all their wonderful projects. I hope you'll join me for my tutorial in a few weeks!

Happy creating!
Sara Emily

Back to Basics and Beyond Challenge # 13 Watercolours I watercolored my colorful leaves.
SumMore Fun Mood Board Challenge #38 I was inspired by the leaves in the photo with the shoes and by the wood plank with Mr. and Mrs. on it.

    Looks like we were on the same lines with our thinking, Sara Emily... I adore your white leaf clusters, echoing the clouds against the blue sky, and the lovely combination of textures and materials in your clustered autumn gatherings. Beautiful!

    Hi, Sara! Could this not be a more perfect rendition of Autumn in Florida? The tropical blue waters mixed with the withering (from the heat more than the cold) leaves and flowers, getting ready to spring forth their lusciousness again? Gorgeous card! hugs, de
