Hi Everyone!
My card today was inspired by this fantastic photo I snapped a couple of weeks ago. I was at a red light, and I quickly grabbed my phone and shoved it out the window and was able to capture this...
Isn't this gorgeous??? I'm awestruck everytime I look at it. As much as I wish that winter around here was shorter, I wish fall in all its splendor was longer. Sigh. This is already just a memory because the trees are now almost bare.
Oh well, it served as great inspiration because here is my card. I used the tree image from the set Funky Forest by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.
I used a combination of paper piecing and Copics to color it and one of my favorite embossing folders for the background that has a bunch of random autumnal words. I hand stamped the sentiment and layered it up with some circle punches. I thought that, and the round buttons coordinated well with that image.
Here is a look at the entire set:
Well, that's it for me today :) I hope you will take time to see what Lindsay and the rest of the team has made

Hello Karin,
You made a fantastic card again. Yes, I also love those autumn colors of the trees. Today it is a realy stormy day here, so I will be crafting again and stay at home, warm and out of the wind. Exept for getting some tealight candles.. in a hurry.
Greetings from Belgium

Fab card, love the lace!
Love, love, love the way the roundness of the trees matches the roundness of the buttons! Great lace and embossed card stock too! Thanks so much for participating in Catch the Bug's Whirling, Swirling, Twirling Autum challenge with Bugaboo Stamps! :D MWAH!

Love all the texture and colour on your card Karin. Loving that photo too, just the exact colours we have at the minute over here in Ireland. Though the winds today will soon get rid of those gorgeous leaves:(
