Autumn Splendor is my favourite set this month and my first card uses the sketch SC402. I used a new to me technique on the vertical strip using a highlighter pen and distress ink. The main image was coloured with Copics. I used an M-bossabilities folder on the horizontal panel. I am entering this card in the Sentimental Sundays challenge.
My second card is a thank you card. It is going to the carers in the home where my Mother in Law was while we were in the USA enjoying ourselves a few weeks ago - the carers did a brilliant job. Again it was coloured with Copic markers. 2 stencils were used on the background and 2 different coloured distress inks.
