Welcome Fall!

Hello Everyone!
Всем привет!

Yesterday I recalled some Summer memories, today I'm glad to welcome Fall. As a kid I loved Summer, now Autumn is probably my favourite season. It can compete only with late May - early June period, when nights are the shortest.
Вчера я немного повспоминала лето, сегодня я радуюсь осени. Ребенком я, конечно, любили лето, теперь оснь, наверно, самая любимая пора. Лучше золотой осени может быть только период в конце мая - середине июня, когда ночи самые короткие в году.

I have many close people having birthdays in Autumn. And I felt very excited making this card, because I knew, who would get it.
У многих моих близких день рождения именно осенью. И я с удовольствием делала эту открытку, потому что знала, кто ее получит.


I enter this card to One Layer Simplicity Challenge #9 hosted by Ardyth. She says, it's hip to be square this month! I do not make square cards often, and even if I do, I make them bigger than Ardyth, mine is 5 1/2". Since it is one layer challenge, I made it in a bit more complicated way to get all these colourful layers. I followed Heather's instructions described here.


Я выставляю эту открытку в конкурсе One Layer Simplicity Challenge #9 (Однослойная Простота), который ведет Ardyth. В этом месяце она говорит, что квадрат - это круто! Я редко делаю квадратные открытки, и если делаю, то размером 14 х 14 см. Так как обязательное условие конкурса - однослойная открытка, пришлось поколдовать. Я последовала примеру Heather, описанному здесь.  Вкратце по-русски опишу: (1) я наложила самодельную квадратную маску, тонировала некоторые участки открытого квадрата двумы светлыми оттенками DI и подсушила их феном, (2) на тонированных участках сделала горячее тиснение листьев прозрачным порошком, (3) полностью затонировала весь квадрат и (4) отпечатала куружевной узор в верхнем правом углу.

I link up this card also to Curtain Call Challenge, that invites to use Lovely Leaves. I was inspired by this degrade colours and tried to incorporate them in my card.
Я также выставляю эту открытку в конкурс Curtain Call Challenge, где тема - Листья. Мне очень понравилось фото с постепенной сменой оттенков листьев.


I'm playing along with the following challenges: Inspiration Emporium, where Fall is in the Air, Just Us Girls #257The Friday Mashup Challenge 176, that suggested to use Emboss Resist technique.
И еще я буду играть в нескольких других конкурсах: Inspiration Emporium с темой Осень в воздухе, Just Us Girls #257 - тема Листья, The Friday Mashup Challenge 176,  где как вариант предлагают использовать Emboss Resist технику горячего тиснения для сопротивления чернилам.


And The Male Room Challenge #18, themed Autumn/Fall.
И The Male Room Challenge #18 с темой Осень.

Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. Have a nice Autumn day!
Спасибо, что заглянули и за хорошие слова. Всем прекрасного осеннего дня!

    1. Thank you, Kimberley, for your encouraging words and showing me a new challenge. I think I've reached limits for some challenges for simultaneous entries, next time... Male card are challenge by themselves, but this one is really unisex. I made it for a woman, but will repeat tonight for one Virgo man :)
