Squirrel and pumpkins with Last Minute Manda

Happy Saturday everyone ! I hope that you have had a good week and have a lovely weekend ahead planned.

Today I am sharing my latest DT make for Last minute Manda and I've decided to stick with the Autumn theme for todays card...must be something in the air!

To create this cute and very simple shaker card I've used the Autumn Friends collection

I coloured all of the elements with my Promarkers for this card - even the background which I don't normally do but its good to try new things and learn new techniques. 

I found some mulberry paper leaves that I have in my stash for far too many years probably around 25!...I bought them from a shop in the UK Lakeland Plastics when they used to have a craft section which has sadly long gone..... its about time they finally got used.

To make them more autumnal, I've used distress inks blended over the tope and am really pleased with the end result as it adds a lovely texture to the scene.

I hope that you like my card today 🌞

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
