Hello blogging friends, I hope you had a great weekend. We enjoyed 'summer like' temperatures and lots of sunshine. The leaves are showing gorgeous vibrant oranges early this fall. It
must have something to do with our cool wet summer and recent cold
nights.
I used a couple of Design by Ryn's fabulous stencils and a Fairy stamp to create this Autumn design.
The background was created with Distress Inks using the Acrylic Block technique. I blended Distress Inks over the Flowing Branches stencil and bronze Viva 3D Decor Modelling Creme over the Maiden Hair Fern stencil. I stamped Dragon Fly Faerie with coffee Archival Ink, coloured with Prisma Pencils, cut her out and attached over the background. I also added holograph glitter to her wings. Autumn is from Chocolate Baroque's November Fairy set.
Thanks for your visit and have a great week,
Shirleyx

Wow, stunning colours. I adore the background you created. Hope you are doing ok. Sending purrs to Archie from Skipper, who is out in the rain. :)
just GORGEOUS Shirley!
Nice to see you back Shirley and looks like I missed one last week, afraid I didn't get time for much blogging, instead a week of cooking for a special party.
Loving the Autumnal colours here.
Hope you are settling into your new home.

Love the gorgeous warm Autumn tones you have used Shirley, and then the softer tones on the fairy, and that Decor gold is so luxurious. x
Wow, what a gorgeous card, love the autumn colours. Hugs, Valerie
Stunning card and colours Shirley. I love the look of the new stencils Ryn has bought out (not bought any yet) and they go beautifully with the fairy stamp.

Hey Shirley, I LOVE the gold Maidenhair Fern over top of the rich Autumn colours in this. Also love the shimmer on the wings and colouring on the faerie's dress. Thanks so much Shirley :)
What a great world for the fairy to fly in, Shirley...such a friendly, warm card!

Hi Shirley, thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog, and for becoming a follower. I'm delighted to return the compliment. Your work is superb. I love this card, the background is stunning, the colours are beautiful, and the fairy looks as if she is really flying. I've just had a lovely wander through some of your blog pages and see lots to inspire me. And I can so identify with your comments about moving house and the amount of craft stuff you have! We did the same three years ago, I had a good clear out before we moved but seem still to have just as much stash! Fortunately my hubby is, like yours, very handy at building storage. You can see on my blog how my new craft room progressed. Anyway, I look forward to seeing lots more of your lovely projects.

Oh MY! Shirley, you have outdone yourself! And while I enjoy every beautiful pixel of your masterpiece, I am in love with the golden maidenhair textured on top! GORGEOUS! xo
Love the rich colors and that glistening bronze embossing cream. That's a color I've not seen around our area. Really looks terrific with the rich depth of your background and the pretty fairy. (You would be a whiz at what I did with the Autumn butterfly. It's fun to work with the pearlescent colors.) Hope the house moving project is going fine for you, and Happy wkend. TFS & Hugs
I, really love this card dear Shirley, (I know I did mention it before) I didn't receive any mail , it happens all the time I don't know way, but there is somthing that doesn't want us to mail or send cards(haha)
Greetings
