Cute and romantic autumn - and two tutorial videos

Here is a very autumnal-looking card for you!! That little (breathtakingly CUTE) fairy by Crissy Armstrong is called Pum Kinnie Fairy and she is available from Whimsy Stamps. The sentiment is from Steampunk Travels set.
 The image was coloured with Prismas on kraft card and I recorded two tutorials - how to colour a pumpkin and how to achieve lighter veins on leaves. You can watch them if you scroll down.
The papers are from Prima Romantique pad, all edged with different flourishes from Lavish Flourishes stamp set. I made the pins myself using various spacers and pearls. The bling fourishes I just eyeballed, only tools being a bottle of glue and pile of loose flat-back gems. The flowers were also stamped with flourishes, then layered and I created centers with some link charms, flat back gems, big flat back pearl and generous blobs of Viva Pearl pens used as an adhesive.

Now, and here's the promised videos:

How to colour leaves (especially the lighter veins, really easy trick)

Hope you found something useful!

Thanks for popping by!
