Autumn day sunshine

It's a lovely sunny day here, but with a definite autumnal nip in the air.

This card is for sketch 28 on Stamp with fun:



I've used buttons on my card, so it's good for:

Cupcake
61: 'buttons and stitching' (the stitching is on the ribbon)
Kraftin' Kimmie 2: 'buttons, buttons, who's got some buttons?'
Crazy Amigo: 'buttons and knots' (there's a knot in the ribbon)

Paperplay 39 is 'favourite embellishments', which for me, I think, would have to be flowers/blooms, so they are included on this card

There are still a lot of autumn themes around the challenges:

The pink elephant 36: 'fall'
Created by hand: 'harvest time'
Stamp, scrap and doodle Saturdays 11 is a picture inspiration with autumnal colours:



and 3 clovers 35: 'nature' - which can certainly include autumnal colours

It also fits the colours for day 229 on 365 cards

I'm editing this because I've just found the new monthly challenge blog 'By the cute and girly' with 'autumn glory' as the first topic, so I'm linking this card there as it was made after the challenge was launched.

I used BG June bug and Infuse papers, stamping with a Laura Ashley stamp with stazon blazing red:



After the coffee morning sale, my stock of A6 size birthday cards is sadly depleted (well, I shouldn't say 'sadly' because it was good that people wanted them) - so I now need to replenish (although really I prefer making square cards, but have got quite a stock of them, so I must be disciplined - ha ha!)
