This beautiful lady was a freebie from A Day for Daisies where their challenge theme is "Frame It." As soon as I saw the image, I just knew she called for soft, fall colors - almost pastels rather than the usual bright oranges, reds, and deep yellows. Even without those bright colors, I wanted her to be "Autumn" without question. What do you think?
I colored her with my ProMarkers, cut her with my paper cutter, rounded the corners with a punch, and die cut the background frame from a scrap piece of dp with one of my dies from QuicKutz. I threaded the two ends with ribbon from my 'bits and pieces' stash, then mounted the matted image onto buttercream CS. That entire thing went onto a white card front. I added fall leaves and pearls and then used the negative, drop-out pieces from a decorative-corner die (Cheery Lynn) on the top and bottom of the framed piece, adding a delicate filigree flair to the overall design.
