Autumn is here

The leaves are starting to fall, the weather is turning so Autumn is well and truly on it's way here in the UK, and with that in mind our challenge over at the Premium Craft Brands Blog is to use Autumnal colours. Here is my project for this week.

The cute image is from Polkadoodles and is called Seashore Shannon. Her hair and skin are coloured with Graph'It Makers and I've been really brave and used Pan Pastels to colour her dress! This is the first time I have coloured with them and I have to say I am pleased with the results. I just need to go buy some that I will be able to use for skin tones now! The colour I used for the dress is Orange Extra Dark. To create the background I have used the leaves stencil and mixed some iridescent paste with the orange Pan Pastel and put through the stencil. I then used the pearlescent orange Pan Pastel over the top of all. Then I used the pearlescent PP red around the edges and finally the magenta extra dark PP right at the edges. I then stamped the butterfly and sentiment from the Postcard stamp set and used the same colour PP's to colour them. I have finished the card off with some satin ribbon from my stash.

Here are the products I used.
