Leaves are Falling...

Happy Days to Everyone! (I say through exhausted lips and closed eyes) .... an exhausting week it has surely been!) First an exhaustive trip out of town to a dental hospital, a sick child, and now at home with a sick doggie! It never ends..... thankfully my craft is my therapy!

The current challenge at  Digi My World is themed "Fall" (or Autumn for those of us outside the USA).  If you don't have a themed DMW image, you can use any other DMW image in Autumnal colours!

Here is my creation for you.. this is a gorgeous newley released Fall image! You must go see all the new releases... gorgeous!!!  I couldn't help myself, and spent AGES colouring in all the leaves.....

Ingredients: Square Metallic Green Cardbase; Core-dinations Cardstock; Sepia Promarker; Le Plume Markers; Stardust Glitter Pens; Glitter Gold Organza Poinsettia Flower; Rhinestones; Water Pen; Leaf Glitter Stickers, Sentiment Sticker...

I printed the image twice - from one I cut the little girl, and coloured her with markers, and glitter pen (shirt). The main image I coloured with markers, and added glitter pen to various leaves around.  I then edged the image with Sepia Promarker and a water pen. I fixed the coloured/trimmed girl image on top, with foam tape to lift her left arm and her head, the rest is fixed flat...

I sandpapered the brown core'dinations card, and then brushed that with the waterpen and sepia Promarker.  Between the two layers, I added the organza poinsettia flower, which I had cut into individual leaves.  I added a sentiment sticker to scraps of card left over, and gave it the sandpaper treatment too... (I love sanding!)... after all the layers were fixed together, I added some brown rhinestones, and a few glittery leaf stickers...
