Sarah Hurley Challenge - Autumn

Hello blogger friends, I am back after a 4 day break and it seems like forever! Thank you for all your lovely words of encouragement for my last post. It means the WORLD to me...

I have got inspired by Shirley-Anne (I am a big fan of her's) to submit this for Sarah Hurley Challenge - Autumn...
I am not a great one for taking part in challenges but for once ...

The gold paisley paper on the base is from India while the orangish paper leaves are from a pound store in London. The flowers are homemade OFCOURSE... :)  I went over with gold glitter to make it look fancy.

The cream and gold mulberry leaves in the background have been cut manually from paper from my stash.

Hope you like it.

Hello Monica. How gorgeous is this. I love Autumn and the colours are just wonderful and so easy to work with. You have made a wonderful job with this. I love the background paper, but your leaf display is just stunning and really gives your card some definition. Happy crafting.
With love, Sandra xx
