Hello! It's time for a new challenge at Frilly and Funkie and our hostess Kathy has chosen the theme To Everything There is a Season. She says, "Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. Brilliant leaves, fall flowers, crisp blue skies, and migrating geese fill the season with a sense of wonder and anticipation You're invited to create a vintage or shabby chic project that captures the beauty of fall. You can make a card, a tag, share a journal entry or any kind of project you desire. Just be sure to create it in the shabby chic or vintage style and be sure to use fall (not Halloween) images and colors."
I have been counting the days for the new Prima Marketing Amber Moon collection to ship! Oh how I am in love with this exquisite paper line! I decided to pair some staple die cut elements with the papers and new flower range to create a couple of cards.
I grabbed the Raven flower pack because it had the most variety and included 12 flowers. I was afraid they would end up being tiny, but happily no! I inked up some die cuts to tuck beneath my flower and added a seam binding bow. This card features a couple of the Say It In Cristals (SIIC), which are exquisite!!!
The butterflies and sentiments from both cards were fussy cut from the paper pack. I repeated the same dies on my second card to show versatility, plus it's handy to keep working with the items on your table. ;0
There are so many other sentiment cards just waiting to be used! I only wish I had more time in the days. I'm sure you will be seeing lots more from this collection as time allows.
One favorite detail was how the ink absorbed into the veins from the embossing created when cutting the leaves. I know a lot of people die cut preinked card, but I love inking my cuts after because of details like this and how the edges automatically get inked. I hope you've been inspired and will play along with our current challenge for a chance to win a $25 gift card to the Funkie Junkie Boutique!

Be still my heart! It's fall on paper! Like you, I could not wait for my Amber Moon goodies to come in the mail. It really is a glorious fall collection and you've just made it shine here. Both cards are stunning with all the layered papers and die cuts. My favorite thing in the first card is that wee tassel detail. Swoon! And the second card has the most gorgeous bow. Really every element is just heavenly. I love them both!
Two very beautiful cards.

Fantastic layers, once again! I really love the paler fall colors you used. It still is very festive for the season but fresh and different, too.
Oh Autumn your cards are gorgeous and really show off the fall season. Thanks so much for entering your lovely card into our 'Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow' challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ this month. I look forward to seeing what you create for our next challenge. Hugs, Barbara
