The design teams brief was Autumn colours. Autumn is by far by most favourite season, and not only because I was an autumn baby. I love the vibrant colours, the darker evenings sitting by the fire. It feels cosy. I have digressed to my happy place. Back to the take in hand and my inspiration for your challenge.

I used the Polkadoodles digital stamp Twiggy & Toots Cake Time

Cardmaking Instructions 

Using the circle cutter I cut a piece of Kraft Card to have a radius of 3 7/8th Inches. This was scored, burnished and folded at the half way point

A piece of white card was cut using a radius of 3 1/2 Inch. This was cut down the middle to give 2 semi circles.

One of these semi circles was blended using the stencil and distress inks in Fossilised Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Fried Brick and Gathered Twigs.

A paper doily was coloured with fried brick distress ink and cut into 2

The image was printed and coloured with alcohol markers and cut with the largest oval die

The sentiment comes with the digital stamp and read Hip Hip Hooray it is your special day. This was too big for where I wanted it to go so I trimmed down the sentiment and coloured it in fried brick. The corners were rounded and it was mounted on Kraft card. 

The card was then assembled as below

The sentiment is on foam squares

Using the circle cutter a piece of orange card was cut and glued to the back. Nuvo drops were added to the doily and around the edge and glossy accents added to the champagne flutes.
