Seasonal Flora

It's a Monday morning and I have lots of jobs including an ironing pile that's ready to topple so it's only natural I'm on blogger instead!!! I had to pop by with a couple of cards to share that are quite autumnal....


This is my card on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today and those rich colours just make me happy :)
I had intended to try the emboss resist layering technique with these lovely quilled leaves from Newtons Nook but I grabbed the white embossing powder instead of clear so had to change it up!!

It's a sort of happy accident I think because I loved adding those intense seasonal shades to the leaves instead and the heat embossing kept the watercolour contained :)


You can find more details and links to supplies for this card on the Seven Hills blog here.

This next card is not so richly coloured but seasonal nevertheless...


Water-colouring die cuts is always something I forget to try but the effect is just lovely and these dies from Flora and Fauna are some of my favourite.... I feel a Christmas design coming from this card 😉


Details for this card can be found on the Seven Hills blog here

Thanks for stopping by.... I'm off to tackle the Matterhorn of ironing!!!

  1. Two seasonal beauties! Love those happy accidents - it worked out beautifully on the first card. And the second is gorgeously Jenny-style!

  2. Not sure if I've heard of that thing... you know, 'ironing'... is it fun? Otherwise GF get your craft on lol. I love it when you watercolour, love how those vivid colours pop on the quilled leaves!

  3. The are both so gorgeous, Jenny ... I especially love the second with the watercoloured die cuts ... it's so beautifully balanced and organic! Haven't ironed for about 10 years ... I can so recommend not doing! Hugs, Anita :)
