Autumn Leaves

This week, at the Michelle Perkett Studio... our challenge you to make a card or project using autumn leaves and/or fall colors using an MPS image.... if you don't have any of Michelle’s images, you can find her wonderful  images in Michelle’s Etsy store and freebies can be found at the Crafters Digital Art Center group! The challenge winner is drawn randomly, and will receive a digital image of their choice from Michelle's Etsy store!

For my creations this week, I chose Willow the Autumn Fairy.... she is beautiful!

Ingredients: Carsdstock - Bazzill, SU!; Markers - SU!; Glaze Pens, Sakura; Sepia Ink - Ancient Page; Fabric - Vintage Moda; Champagne Rhinestones, Chocolate Pearls - Kaisercraft; Threaded Pearls; Tuille; Vintage Button...

I coloured the image with markers, and when dry, I added glaze pen to gloss over her wings and the flowers.  After trimming the image, I edged all layers with sepia ink, adhered the top layers together, and added the button embellishment. This layer was fixed to the next layers and adhered to the card. Finally, I added the pearls and rhinestones all over...

The Button Embellishment -  Tuille was white, but I coloured it with the sepia ink; Pearls are old, and are threaded on stiff acrylic thread. These were threaded through the button shank, and stitched in place, before the whole piece was stitched securely to the card.

This card is also entered in the challenges at:
Flutterby Wednesday 127
