~Autumn Waits & a Hand Stitched Leaf~





is hosted by Heather this week.



Hand stitching on a card!





 I pierced holes through my embossed leaf (just like Heather instructed) and then back stitched with embroidery thread.

 Yes, it took some time, but

I like the thick, finished texture.



 The recipient will KNOW you put some heart and soul into it. ;)

Autumn Awaits




Her blueish slacks make the orange pop~just like the blue panel in my card accomplishes.


I love throwing blue and orange together.



I'm getting into the Autumn mood ~ sweaters and jeans~


how about you?

    Too right- bring on the jumpers, jeans, soups and hot puddings! I'm not good with bikini weather. Love your textural take on the Trigger. The colours are awesome too x
