Autumn Elf
by Jeanne Jachna
Hi Friends! I hope you’re having a great day! I wanted to start my post to remind you to join our monthly challenge. This month our theme is “Leaves are Falling – Autumn is Calling”. Playing along is a great way to let us see what you and others make, and by linking up your design you are automatically entered to win the $20 giveaway prize we offer every month. 
Die cuts will always be my favorite! And one of my favorite things is multi-purposing so I can get the most out of the supplies I have. Today I’m playing with the Nordic Joyful Elf who is intended for Christmas. Simply by changing the colors and setting he’s now an Autumn Elf!
My cards usually start the same way. I arrange the images on apiece of plastic the same size as my card base. The clear plastic allows me to arrange before committing and adhering things in place. The clear plastic lets me slide different backgrounds underneath so I can decide what colors I like best.
My elf is standing on Forest Stump and is having fun in the forest on a perfect fall day. Nordic Oak and Nordic Maple Leaves are scattered about as well as some mushrooms and Mini Forest Plants foliage.
The background was created by blending Distress Oxide ink. It’s a creamy pigment ink that blends easier than dye ink. A preprinted sentiment from Memory Box in gold foil finishes the design.
I hope you believe in magic like I do! Elves aren’t only for the holidays.. they’re living in the forest and celebrating the beauty of every season!

Hi Jeanne, Yours is a beautiful ‘scene’ card, I love all your die-cuts and the colours are fabulous.
I definitely believe in magic, and the fairies and elves are amazing.
