Afternoon all!!
I honestly don't know where time goes to. It's been over a week since I last posted on my blog, although I have had time to have a look what you've all been up to and to make a few cards.
Today I am sharing with you my entry for this weeks LIM challenge, where there is a colour challenge. Chrissie and Mandi want to see Red and Orange this week, in honour of Bonfire night! Now I am in full Christmas mode at the minute, with only 47 days until the big day and a christmas class I have coming up in a few weeks. However, I didn't think I could make Red and Orange work for christmas. So whilst I was out and about yesterday I was inspired by a beautiful tree with really vibrant red leaves on it, and so the idea for the following card was born!

An arty farty angle.....
the simple inside...
Whilst I had my supplies out I made an identical one with just a change of sentiment for a work colleague who had surgery yesterday.
(Apologies for the poor light in the pictures it's been dark and miserable here today!)
Materials
CS: SU Cherry Cobbler and Confetti White
Stamps: SU Lovely as a Tree, Petite Pairs, Trendy Tree's and Happiest Birthday Wishes
Tools: SU Stamp-a-ma-jig, Daubers for distressing, Blender pen
Misc: SU Markers in Bravo Burgundy, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Early espresso
I love how by inking up the stamp with your markers you get this multi-tonal effect of the leaves. I then used a blender pen to drag the colours together so there was no white space between the leaves. A definate CAS card from me this week, with lots of white space.
Got to dash. I need to go start tea and then I've got my tuesday night craft club to go to.
Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to seeing what you've all created.
Hugs, Victoria

A fab. card Vicky - it looks just like the large Acer Tree in my front garden which changes to these glorious colours in Autumn.
It's not as easy as I thought it would be to come up with an idea for this one, but you've done a great job!
