Fall is in the Air

Hello.

I finally have a new card to show you. I've been working on this one for a while, but kept getting distracted. Sometimes--not often, thank goodness--I find myself working on a few (too many!!!) projects at a time that nothing gets finished...LOL. Anyway, got a fall card here.




Doesn't this Tilda look like she is having sooo... much fun? She is called Tilda in Leaves from the Magnolia's Fall Collection 2010. I wanted the stamp right away when I first saw this image. You can purchase her from Magnolia-licious, Diana's online store. Diana can also supply you with the Fall Background and the sentiment Fall is in the Air stamps that I've also used here.



I think they call this a side step card. Saw this style of card on Marinanne's blog--she has so many beautiful creations, I get a lot of inspirations from her. I couldn't find a template for this card style anywhere on the internet (and I got tired of looking...hee hee), so I had to make up my own measurements, but it was simple enough to do...LOL. The ones I could find online had the centre panel going back instead of staying at the front. I like this style much better.


I am entering these few challenges with this card:

All That Scraps Magnolia Challenge #3 - Fall with a Fold.

Double Dutch Challenge #55 - Fall has fallen.

A Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge #128 - Relish to Embellish.

Creative Card Crew Challenge - Let's Punch It!



I've decorated the inside of my card this way, with another older version of Tilda. This one is called Windy Tilda. I didn't put any other embellishments in the inside, because if I do, I wouldn't be able to close the card flat.


That's it. Thanks for taking the time to drop by. I appreciate your visit and even more for your comments. I just luvvvv reading them. Enjoy your day!



Stamps: Tilda in Leaves and Fall is in the Air sentiment from Fall Collection 2010, Fall Background from Autumn Collection 2008, Windy Tilda from Fall Stamps 2007 Collection--all these are Magnolia stamps and they are available from Diana's on-line store Magnolia-licious. If they are not stock items, Diana will order them in for you. The other sentiments are computer generated.

DP's: Provo Craft Fluttery Things, the skeleton-leaf design paper is from Making Memories Autumn Splendor Collection.

Tools: Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Thirteen, a couple of Punch Bunch leaf punches, EK Success retro flower punches medium and small, Joy! Craft cutting dies Branches.

These are my measurements, if you're interested:
