Fortunes of Fall

Autumn is such a beautiful season!  The colours, and cozyness.  I just wish it would last longer.  That’s one of the big things I miss about living in the US, fall was more prolonged.  But even still, my Canada turns out all her colours for the season (once we can get past the ridulously early snow that just fell 👎 - don’t worry though, it will be gone tomorrow).  So, today’s sweet set from Power Poppy is a perfect way to make autumn last as long as you want it to!  It’s called Fortunes of Fall, and it’s a rich celebration of beautiful arrangments that sing on the autumn breezes.  

I chose to work with the sweet pumpkin stand first, with the pretty arrangment of pumpkins, pears, flowers and greenery.  Dreamy to colour up in such a fun palette!  I went with a lot of gold accents to really warm it up and add some glitzy.  Colouring is done with Copics and then some prismacolours to add in detail.  It’s so cozy I think I need a warm pumpkin spice latte!  

I added some sponging to warm up the focal piece, used a gold Krylon pen to edge everything (almost like gold leaf edges) and added some gold accents in the ribbon and card candy, with a couple of die cut leaves to make it even more warm and seasonal.  

The Bloom Brigade has so many creative ways to show off this set, you’ll have to stop by and see!  I’ll be back again tomorrow with our last set, which is another beauty!
