Freatured Creation by Marlene

Hi, everyone!  Oh, boy, it's been a long time since we had a crafter feature, hasn't it? ^^;  My bad.
It's been so cold in many parts of the US and the northern hemisphere in general, now that the winter is upon us.  But with the cold weather come the holidays - getting together with family and friends, seasonal decorations, shopping - busy and maybe often hectic, but definitely a nice time.  Imagine how drab and long the winter months would be without the holidays.  *shudders*

I was looking through the submission album today, and this one caught my attention with the lovely autumn colors.  This beautiful card is by Marlene Ekeblad Andersen with "Autumn Rose" digi.

Marlene gave this image a gorgeous fall color palette of warm reds and yellows, with a touch of berry blue for a lovely effect.  It also captures the mood of nature's final glory before it goes into dormancy, with a hint of melancholy as if the beautiful elf already misses the gorgeous season before it's completely gone.  On the brighter note, the colors also remind me of the bounty of the fall crop that will be gracing our tables during the holidays.  Just lovely all the way around!  Please be sure to check out her blog here and give her some love.

The "Autumn Rose" digi is available as a 300 dpi 5" x 7" (12.7 x 17.8 cm) JPG image (1500 x 2100 pixels).
It's at AW Etsy shop here and at the AW web shop here.

November marks my 2-year anniversary on Etsy and 1-year anniversary of the Facebook group.  To thank you for your wonderful support, I have three levels of savings for you for the rest of November.  Whether you're interested in the popular Sprites or want to grab some images for the holidays, you choose the level of savings based on how much you want to spend. ;)  Happy shopping!
