Leaves are falling, Autumn is calling!

Hello my fine crafty friends! Happy Friday! Hope you had a good week! It's been smoky here and I've been inside all week crafting and staying busy. Looking forward to the coming weeks when we can get outside again! I saw some leaves on the ground in my neighborhood which makes my fall lovin heart so happy. Leaves are falling, and Autumn is calling! That's the theme for today's card, made with awesome new stamps from my friends at Hello Bluebird! Today's card has a lot of steps but it was a joy to create! Different techniques: Copics, paints, ink blending, stickles... This one has it all. And, it's a slimline card! The finished card size is 4" x 9" so it's a big one! More room to add stuff - you know how I am...

The background for this card is the pretty new Fairy Glade Scene Die - loooove. All the pieces are dies - and you just cut out the whole scene! It's so beautiful and clever! I used Bristol cardstock for the background pieces - it's much easier to ink blend on Bristol paper!! After I made the background I used lots of pretty garden fairies and leaves to complete my scene.

These stamps and dies were part of the Summer Hello Bluebird release - so most of the samples I've seen are all in gorgeous pastels and bright vivid colors. Well....I got this idea! What about making some Fall Fairies?! SO my scene is done in warm tones of Fall - and my little fairies are wearing dresses in orange, red and olive... And they're busy decorating their little mushroom neighborhood for Fall! EEP.

I stamped and die cut out fairies, pumpkins and leaves (and a bee) from several Hello Bluebird stamp sets. I colored everything with Copic Markers and then added white gel pen highlights. I also added Stickles to their wings...

I think this is the most beautiful sentiment! Love the fonts, and the whimsical look of it! It fit perfectly into that space on the card. For the background I layered two of each piece (mushroom, greenery) to make it slightly raised on the card. The images are all mounted to the card using foam dots.

I love to pop a little bit of teal into my Autumn cards. I think it nicely contrasts all the yellow and orange.... So I made their wings using a few shades of teal Copics...
