Here's my wonderful card from Mitzi

46694670

Very hard to get a good photo. The card has layers of trees with woodland animals hiding in there - bunnies, birds and badger. Even the envelope is lovely. Thank you so much, Mitzi!

Oh WOW! Those 2 are beauties! Love the colours in Elcee's card (I've seen her ATCs first hand but never a card). And I can see why Mitzi said she was reluctant to let her card go.

Julie as i am reading this "he who is nearly bankrupt" has just gone to the post office to post your card, we are lucky as the post office is in an off licence and it has to stay open the same hours, i received my card from Vicky this morning, so i will try and put it up tomorrow, i think everybody is really getting out of the sunshine mood now, the cards are really to die for ladies

That is a lovely card, Pyjama Princess, really like the colours, very autumnal and the skeleton leaves are a nice contrast.

awww kate that is such a sweet story. I debated on drawing a mouth but my drawing skills are limited to stick men as long as its appreciated then I dont mind what happends with my card. Also if it encourages him to develop his speech skills then I am a very happy bunny.

Attached is the stunning card from jan, unfortunately my camera seems to have disappeared since moving round the spare room so a phone pic will have to do for now grrrrrrr. its a stunning card which has taken pride of place on the dining table. Thank you

My card arrived today from Julie and as you'd expect it's stunning:

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h71/nuttycluster/MinerecdfromJulie_zpsb15cfece.jpg (http://s61.photobucket.com/user/nuttycluster/media/MinerecdfromJulie_zpsb15cfece.jpg.html)

It's beautiful but was awful to photograph because of the gold shiny card. I love the blue background - it's all bubbly! I think Julie's die cut a tree and used the 'offcut' then glued the fallen leaves on. Along the bottom is some gilding flakes which look like a carpet of leaves. Very clever Julie - thank you.

Julie

Well your card was originally also meant to smell of autumn. I burned some matchsticks then put them in the blender but that didnt work. Then I decided to use Lapsang Souchong tea leaves which I sprayed gold, they were a mess too. Eventually I decided to gild each tea leaf which did work. My fatal error was using wet glue to stick them on and the card basically turned into a soggy tea bag.

I gave up !!!

At long last and with profuse apologies to Waterlily for the tardiness, here's the Autumn card I was lucky enough to receive:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/mitzi/Art/Craft%20Telly%20Swaps/WaterlilySep13.jpg


It doesn't show up very well, but all the card layers have different textures. The outer one is pearlescent and the one that looks very dark in this photo is a copper mirri card. The layers are 3-d'd too, not flat like they look in the photo. The embossing is so detailed and perfectly done. The picture is certainly autumnal - pumpkins, apples, hay bales and a corn sheaf. Thank you so much, Waterlily.

Hi PJP, I've got no idea what make etc. They are a clear plastic dome with letters in various autumny colours underneath.

I'm afraid I don't know where any of my stuff comes from or what makes etc it is. I only keep the actual stash and cut any bits of paper etc off lol.

Sorry I can't help.

Not a problem Waterlily - I just liked the font that's used.
