I don't know about you but Autumn, and particularly its colours, is my all time favourite for crafting inspiration. Today I've used some of Papermill Direct's autumnal flavoured card to create a card and matching tag.

You will need:

• Tangerine orange card
• Ruby red card
• Maroon card
• Daiquiri cocktail card
• Mandarin orange card
• Foam squares

You will also need:

• Dies - I used Polkadoodles Tags and Super Sprigs; Spellbinders circles
• Sentiment stamp - I used Funky Fossil, Small Print
• A small length of ribbon

Card Instructions:

1. Die cut a bunch of sprigs using the five colours of card stock.

2. Die cut a circle ring using two stacking circle dies.

3. Build up the wreath by adhering the sprigs around the circle.

4. Cut a 6" card base from mandarin orange card and an inner 5.75" matt from maroon card.

5. Adhere the wreath to the centre of the card.

6. Stamp a greeting onto tangerine orange card. Die cut this into a banner and adhere it on pads to the centre of the wreath.

The matching tag was a bit of an after thought on my part as a way to use up some of the left over sprigs. It looks so good though that I'm really pleased I had that idea - I do hate to see waste!

Instructions:

1. Die cut a tag from maroon card.
2. Adhere it to mandarin orange card and hand cut it to leave a border around the maroon card.
3. Adhere some leftover sprigs onto it.
4. Add a ribbon.
