Autumn pixie

Hello,
We've got a new challenge over at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge blog starting today, and lasting for about a month. The theme as always is Fantasy, however as long as it's Fantasy pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the guidance in the side bar on the blog.

Here's my DT card, which will hopefully give you some inspiration - as it's September and Autumn is approaching I thought I'd go with an Autumnal theme, I do like the changing colours of the leaves at this time of year. Plus I'd just got the John Next Door Autumn Special magazine which as some lovely dies and a folder with an autumn theme. Why not pop over to the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge blog, check out what the design have made to inspire you and join in.

I'm not sure who I will give this card to yet, and for what occasion so I've not added a sentiment. It's actually based on a card I won on a Tonic show on Create and Craft way back in 2015! At the time I made a card myself based on it but stuck pretty much to the same design, you can see both cards here Pink butterfly. I was sorting through my stash and found the papers I'd used so thought I'd make it again but with more of my own input into it, plus the challenge theme.

I hope you like the card I made and that you will join us at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog this month, we'd love to see you there.
