This week at Craft Your Passion Challenges the theme for Challenge #180 is

AUTUMN COLORS!

I had the pleasure of working with "Molly Throughout the Year September" Digi.

 

 

I colored the sweet image with SN Markers and used the Circle die from Spellbinders and layered that onto the largest Fleur de Lis Square die cut in orange CS. 

 

I cut out leaves using Cuttlebugs Daisy Kit and My Favorite Things Upsy Daisy Die-namics in different autumn colors. I wanted it to look as it she was throwing them up in the air, as she is in the image.

 

Cardstock is from Recollections & the DP of the leaves is leftover from my scraps stash. I used bling is yellow and red for accents. The "FALL" stickers are also from my stash.
