You Make Me Smile!

Hello Tea Timers!

Michelle from the Design Team here and today I am sharing the cosiest little autumn card featuring the most adorable little bear wrapped up in his scarf amongst a gorgeous fall forest scene. This one just makes you want to pull on a chunky knit and go for a walk in the leaves!

Supplies used:

Jumping With Joy

Winter Tree Die

I started by blending the most stunning autumn sky background in warm reds, coral, orange and golden yellow, which fades down beautifully from top to bottom and gives the whole card that gorgeous golden hour glow that autumn does so perfectly. A row of white birch trees cut across the background and with the warm colours bleeding through behind them, the effect is just breathtaking!

Falling all across the card is the most wonderful collection of autumn leaves in every shade of the season, rich oranges, warm yellows and fresh greens, scattered and tumbling in every direction as if the wind has just swept through the forest. It gives the card so much movement and energy and is one of those details that just makes the whole design feel really alive!

A rich earthy brown ground layer runs along the bottom of the card, speckled with texture and with a few more leaves settling down onto it. Tucked in amongst the birch trees are a couple of little red and white mushrooms, which are such a sweet and perfectly seasonal touch! 

Sitting right in the centre of it all is our little bear, snuggled up in the most wonderful green checked scarf with the rosiest little cheeks, looking completely content amongst all that autumnal beauty. He is just the sweetest thing and the perfect focal point for this warm and cosy scene!

To finish everything off, the "You Make Me Smile!" sentiment is heat embossed in white on a warm brown banner tucked into the top right corner, which ties in perfectly with all those rich autumn tones and rounds off the whole card in the most charming way.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
