Autumn birthday

















Hi everyone. Hope you had a fantastic august. I've been away from the blog, but now I'm back with new inspiration.

Today I'd like to show you a card using the fabulous stamp from Meredith Dillman called Diamond. I wanted to make an autumn themed birthday card, but without the usual brownish colours or the obvious leaves. I think this one pulls it off, even if there are a lot of flowers on it. The shades remind me of this time of the year: the last warm days and signs of summer. I also added some free-hand doodling (the x:es and running stitches) as I think they add something to the card. And as always I've used my promarkers to color the image.
