Autumn Leaves are Falling - something we don't see here in central Florida!
Hello, my friends! Hoping you are doing well, and that Mother Nature is treating you nicely with her weather and delights. Today I'm GUEST DESIGNING for Jan's Digi Stamps ! It is the kick-off for the Anything Goes Challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps! If you use a JDS image in your card, please mention it in your upload. There is a 2nd draw for those who use one of Jan's fun images.
Today's card features two of Jan's beautifully pre-colored images (with some gray/brown Copic Marker highlights on my end).
The Autumn Leaves #4010 digi set is brand new, and works hand-in-hand with Jan's other sets, like the Pumpkin Blessings #3455J below. IT IS ALSO ON SALE RIGHT NOW 25% OFF. The digital image was increased in size and only two-thirds of the image was used, with an "off the card" style technique - both the digi stamp and die cuts were used in this manner.
I arranged the flowers from Pumpkin Blessings #3455J at the base of the basket, next to the popped up sentiment, distressed with Aged Mahogany DI. The background is a pretty basket weave embossing folder, highlighted with Aged Mahogany. The wrap-around grosgrain ribbon is a nice addition for the lucky recipient. It's like unwrapping a present, especially with the interior decorated with items from both sets:
This month's sale has 17 Fall themed specials UP TO 50% OFF including new sets Autumn Leaves 4010 ($3), Mrs. Teddy Bear 3595 ($3) and From the Farm 3555 ($3.75)
Products: Images from Jan's Digi Stamps: Autumn Leaves #4010J, Pumpkin Blessings #3455J, Craft Essential Basket Weave Embossing Folder EFOB0010, Tonic Twisting Veranda Diet Set, Sue Wilson Double Pierced Circles CED5517die set, Mahogany Distress Ink, Grey Tones Copics, Grosgrain Ribbon

Never tire of seeing Autumn creations Donna, just not so keen on the season as here it means dark nights and the onset of cold days.

Hi Donna,
congrats on your guest design spot.
I have missed your lovely creations.
What a wonderful card and such a super image also.
The colouring looks stunning and I love the inside too with all that lovely verse and design.
Thank you for joining the MAWTT Challenge.

This is so gorgeous sweetheart. Your work is awesome as always. Even more so because your are so poorly. I am so sorry I haven't answered your email, I have been so busy with The SA and looking after people in my apartment block. I am now trying to get loose ends tied up as I go away for a few days on Saturday.
I hope you are having a good period at the moment in your health.
God Bless you sweetie.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely creation with us at We Love Stamping.

Donna, your card design is like opening a book of blessings! How lovely to see you and your beautiful creation today. What a gorgeous image on the front as well as those inside. The basket weave is a perfect background, and I love the die for matting and framing. Jan does have some beautiful digis. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous card!
Your card is absolutely stunning Donna! Great design and so many lovely layers! So great to have you guest designing with us, as the sentiment states "Simpley Blessed"

Your fall card is gorgeous, Donna! Jan's pre-coloured images are amazing and always look like we coloured them ourselves! Beautiful dies used as well! Sending warm wishes to you, my friend! Hope you're having some good days.
Hi, Donna, just popping in again to say I am praying for your safety regarding Hurricane Ian. We just went through Fiona and it was a harrowing experience. Praying that you and your loved ones are safe. Hugs from Nova Scotia.
