I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. – Nathaniel Hawthorne
Hey there from Nannyland,
The beautiful, crisp clear air on my morning walks has invigorated my spirit for all things autumn. The bins of fruits and vegetables in the charming stand in our neighboring town have been incredibly colorful and bounteous this year. It was a delight creating an apple orchard scene with this adorable Mo Manning digi called "For Teacher," which you can find in Mo's Digital Pencil here.
After coloring this sweet image with Copic markers, I used a white gel pen to add dots to her shirt. I decorated her hair and boots with tiny die cut flowers and then adhered the fussy cut image to my favorite z-fold box card base. This is a well-loved Lori Whitlock svg that I downloaded and saved in Cricut Design Space because it's perfect for creating scenes with the included trees and house. The size when folded is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. The punched clouds were embossed with a dot embossing folder and the tree blossoms were created with tiny flower dies embellished with red gems. I added shine and dimension to the apples on the tree with Glossy Accents. I was happy to find the perfect sentiment stamp in my stash.
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.

You've created such a beautiful autumn scene in your Z-fold card! I love all the tiny details like the gems at the center of all those die cut flowers in the tree and the embossing on the clouds! Your Copic coloring is amazing, too! And the way you added darker ink to the edges of all your elements really adds dimension and depth! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely fall project at Creative Creases Challenge!
