Good morning!
Well, September has arrived… the summer sure went quick, but we are hopefully still in for some warm weather before autumn is in full swing.
This month’s prompt embraces those end of summer vibes…
And the focus colour for this month is: Metallic tones
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Rest and relaxation – feature something that you or the recipient enjoys doing to unwind, it could be reading, a coffee date, time outdoors in the garden…
- Seasons of change – let the colour palette of your card reflect the changing environment around you, metallic tones like copper and rose gold go especially well with autumnal shades
- Dramatic skies – in my corner of the world we often get some really dramatic evening skyscapes, a great opportunity to put your ink blending skills to use
- Harvest – feature apples or other fruit and veg on your card, you could even go punny with the sentiment
- Tied up with string – create a tied bouquet, feature twine, or a bow on your card
- Kraft – kraft is such a great neutral to work with and is a great companion to metallic foil or heat embossing
- A window – feature a window or aperture on your card
- Friendship – make a card for a great friend and use the word friend in your sentiment or feature a pet (fluffy or otherwise) on your card
- Reflection – create a symmetrical pattern on your card, or use dies/stamps/stencils that create a mirror image of something on your card design
- Woodland – go to town with a woodland theme, feature iconic autumnal elements like leaves, acorns, toadstools, conkers, etc.
Happy crafting!
