This is a lovely challenge for this time of year just as all the leaves on the trees are turning and putting on a wonderful show. Jane has chosen this theme for us.
I used the Fairyopolis CD from Crafter's Companion for my card. I printed out a sheet from the decoupage section for this lovely fairy image and used glue gel to layer all the pieces as there are lots of layers and I didn't want it to get too high. I matted the image onto chocolate card from Creative Crafting World and did the same with the backing paper. I then used a leaf die from Crafter's Companion for the leaves and then passed them through an embossing folder to get some veins on the leaves. I rubbed these lightly with metallic coloured waxes (I've had these for years and originally got them from QVC back in the day). I finished off my card with some frosted berries on wire stems that I got very cheaply on the internet last year.

GERANIUM !
Hasn't it been a wonderful summer for geraniums! Ours have been amazing this year and put on a wonderful show so when Carol decided to have 'G' is for .... for her theme I just had to choose this pretty Geranium Fairy from a DB Cardmaking CD called Garden Flower Fairies. The backing papers are from the same CD and I matted everything onto black card before attaching it to an 8 x 8 pre-scored card. The stamp is from Lili of the Valley and the dies are as follows:
Flower petals - Britannia dies
Flower stems - Sizzix Tim Holtz Wild Flowers
Black Leaves and scalloped circle die - Desire Easel die

The sky backing paper comes from the Faye Whittaker CD1 in the At the Beach folder.
