AUTUMNAL DELIGHT

Hi all, today is my card reveal for the 

CARD CHAIN CHALLENGE

run by 

Deborah and Gail

I joined up after seeing Dotty Jo's reveal last month

This is the card that I sent to Dawn in New Zealand

I used two of the elements from the challenge which are gems and friendship

I went for an Autumnal theme using LOTV papers and Heartfelt Hibiscus flowers, I coloured the flowers with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colours, it is the first time for many years that I actually did some water colouring. I used the matching Heartfelt die to cut the flowers out then 3d them to the card.

See you soon
