Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Colours of Autumn

Please scroll down for my Penny Black Saturday Challenge DT card

**************************

 It's Bridget's turn to host the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge, and she has chosen:

'Autumn Colours'

I went for rich oranges and browns...and thought that those colours would suit a male card...so I inked up 'Birthday Beagle' by Whipper Snapper. The papers are by BasicGrey, from the 'Offbeat' and 'Hopscotch' pads...I embossed the plain one using my Craft Concepts 'Hexagon Illusion' folder. I distressed all of the edges using inks and my distressing tool, then added faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiments are from a Studio G set, and the ribbon is from Hobbycraft.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies...please visit the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.

We also also have a DT call running until the end of September, so if you fancy joining our merry little band of crafters, add a link to your blog to the linky in the sidebar on the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge blog.
