Fall Is in the Air

When the fifth Monday of the month rolls around, it's time for our one-week challenge at Double Trouble Challenges. This challenge, #151, began on Monday, October 30, 2023, and will end on Sunday, November 5, 2023. This "Fifth-Monday" challenge theme is Something, Anything, Everything... meaning that Anything Goes! 

It's always a disappointment when Wink of Stella or other glitter products do not photograph well. My Slimline card has a pretty sparkle to it but the camera captured something that resembles sand rather than the gold "Pop Up Color".

As usual, Double Trouble Challenge has three "Things" to this challenge:

Thing 1 (required): Keep Trouble Maker happy by showing us your "Anything Goes" project.

Thing 2 (optional): Double Dare is hoping you will take a look at our previous challenge partners and link your project to at least one of them. You could earn extra chances in our Random Drawing and win a prize. I have linked my project at I Spy with My Little Eye #8, "Shades of Autumn".

Thing 3 (optional): If you happen to see circles in this challenge, it's because Twisted Sister has discovered it is "Look for Circles Day" on November 2, and is challenging you to use at least one circle shape on your project. My card is made with layered circles that have been cut in half. The technique is sometimes referred to as Layered Waves or Layered Circles and can be arranged in varying ways. I was inspired by the brisk winds that occur during Autumn when I arranged my elements. I found a sentiment in my stash, "Fall is in the air", and thought it worked perfectly to represent Autumn's sweeping winds. Adding a circle will give you another chance at our Random Drawing.

Onto a bright green card base, leaf-patterned paper was adhered. After arranging my half-circles onto white cardstock, I fussy-cut the arrangement, leaving a white rim, and then adhered it to the leaf-patterned card base front. A few fussy-cut images were adhered plus a stamped sentiment. The inside was lined with white cardstock, a few more fussy-cut images were added, and a sentiment, "In all things, give thanks," was stamped. As a final touch, "Pops of Color" glitter glue in gold was added to a few of the images.
