Seasons

Welcome!

A new challenge is up at Crafting by Designs and I am hosting!

The theme is Show your Season!

The wonderful Delicious Doodles is again our sponsor.

I've used the lovely Harbour Scene to create my cards. I'm sharing my cards here, but will post separately on each one:

Autumn Sunrise

Welcome!

The theme at Crafting by Designs is Show your Season.

Delicious Doodles is the sponsor and I used Harbour Scene to create my card.

 

Autumn (fall) is my favourite season! The days are still warm and the crisp nights are bearable. The colours of nature tones down to softer warmer shades and lovely shades of oranges and even reds can be seen. I love leaves, and especially all those shades of orange!

The image was coloured with pastels and a tiny bit of Vintage Photo Distress Stickles was added. I matted the image on orange card and added it to a kraft card. I know it is simple, but I wanted the image to really shine here.

Hope you'll visit again!

Misty Morning

Welcome!

The theme at Crafting by Designs is Show your Season.

Delicious Doodles is the sponsor and I used Harbour Scene to create my card.

On my way to work, I drive past some trees, long thin trees. The trees are in a low lying area and it is often foggy there, especially when the seasons change from summer to winter. One morning, it was really foggy and the sun was up. Those trees looked so beautiful, almost surreal in the field.

I tried to create a misty morning with the torn vellum overlay. The ribbon & bow just asked to be added and I'm happy with the spot of colour. Oh, some Diamond Stickles adds a final touch!

Here is a side view:

I hope you find this inspiring and will come & join the challenge,

I overlaid the image with printed vellum. The vellum has writing on postcards as design. I added some stamping : a steampunk watch and keys. Mother of pearl buttons echo the seaside, holds it all together on a kraft card.

 

I fell in love with this image the moment I saw it! There is something nostalgic about it, something quaint. In a way it reminded me of places I visited, especially as a child.

 

The watch is a symbol of the times gone by, the keys of doors that were opened and new possibilities.

 

As a teen and young adult, I was an avid letter writer and I had many pen pals and always kept contact with my friends. That was before emails (LOL) and even after. Email has taken over here and I'm trying to keep up. Through the years, I've lost contact with my pen pals and friends, but the past few years, and especially this last year, I made contact with old friends again! It is almost as if the seasons have made a full circle and I'm so grateful to have a chance to build on those friendships again!

 

Do visit again!
