A Gem of a Challenge DT Card - Gems, Gems, Gems


It's Saturday, so it's challenge time again at A Gem of a Challenge, where our theme this week is, "Gems, Gems, Gems", so nice and easy to play along.  I've gone for a seasonal card for this challenge, celebrating the splendour of autumn.  Although I hate the dark nights, I really love the beauty of this season, especially the rich, warm colours, and decided to make a card to reflect this.
I've used Autumn Bella for my card, she's fairly new to the Pink Gem shop, and she was a delight to colour with my Promarkers.  Janet has been busy designing lots of new digis, including plenty for Christmas, pop on over to the shop for a look, and don't forget that there's always a freebie on offer too.
The papers are Lili of the Valley, Country Lady, an SECC purchase, as were the shaped blank, cross charm, and Our Daily Bread sentiment stamp.  The leaves were made with an Xcut punch, and arranged on the card as if they were being blown across it.  I finished with a scattering of assorted gems in autumnal colours.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Graph'it - #20 - Colour Fur 
Kitty Bee Designs - #12 - Fall Colours
Stampin' for the Weekend - Autumn Colours
Divas by Design - Use a Digi
Crafting for all Seasons - #64 - Autumn Colours

Crafty Boots - Autumn
The Crazy Challenge - #157 - B is For..... - Bear, Bow, Bling, Beauty
