with gratitude

 Hello crafty friends 

here is an Autumn card I made for various challenges 

I used pretty pink posh winter mug and fall mug additions, I love this die set and all the other additions that are available, I cut all the dies out with water colour cardstock and for a change coloured them with my zig real brush markers, I must say it made a change to colour them rather than using coloured cardstock and love the watercolour feel to my card . I used a spellbinders embossing folder called falling leaves for the background  

I have a long list of challenges to enter my card for
