Dynamic duo .....

.... Good afternoon.  It's been cold, grey and very windy today - perfect for playing in my craft room.  Consequently, I'm back with another card for a couple of challenges:

• Dynamic Duos - DD23
• Retro Sketches - RS32

Stamps: Uniko Studios - Pure Florals-Gerbera
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Tangerine Tango, Old Olive
Accessories:  SU - Design Paper - Tangerine Tango, Old Olive; SU Card - Crumb Cake; WMS - Twine; Card from stash

I have to admit that I wasn't at all sure what to make with these colours - they are very bright!  However, yesterday I got this lovely Gerbera stamp from Uniko Studios.  It's just perfect for the challenge.  I added two neutrals of white and crumb cake to the palette and used Stampin' Up! design paper for the challenge colours.  I stamped the flower on SU design paper and hear embossed with clear powder, then cut it out.  I stamped the leaves onto white card - one is the first impression and the other the second!  I attached the flower and leaves to the white panel and added some twine and mounted the whole lot to the card with dimensional tape.  I finished off with a simple sentiment stamped in both colours.

Autumn has most definitely arrived in Northville.  The temperature has only reached 8°C (46°F) today - quite a bit cooler than is usual for this time of year, and it's been windy too making it feel even colder.  Still pretty though.  Last weekend I took lots of photos - trees in full Autumn glory, and skeletons decorating Northville!!  Looks wonderful.  Here are a couple of photos, but if you click here you see the photos on Flickr.

That really is all for today - off to get some dinner!  See you tomorrow!
