Autumn Birthday

Hi, I'd coloured this tree diecut ages ago with distress inks and a pen nib brush tip. I don't have distress markers so I use these nibs instead. They are great for colouring small areas. There are some autumn challenges around so I thought I'd change the leaves a bit. I added rusty hinge, fired brick and crushed olive.

Hubby suggested some fallen leaves at the bottom so I distressed some watercolour paper on both sides and used  the Memory Box raindrop die to create these little sprinkles. 

I'm going to link up to a few challenges.

At Craft Mojo, the September challenge is to use Autumn colours.

At Seize the Birthday, the theme is Anything Goes as long as it's birthdays. You can also add a monochromatic topping to your project.

At Cuttlebug Mania, the theme is Back to Nature.

Addicted to Stamps and More has a Make your Mark challenge. Use markers, pencils, chalks, anything that writes or colours.

Since the little pear shaped leaves are snippets I'm visiting the playground Pixie's Crafty Workshop too! I heard there might be some baby pigs to play with, so cute!

Materials used: Memory Box A little Rain and Arboscello tree dies. Ranger brush nibs; distress inks; sentiment sticker from stash.

Thanks for visiting :)
