Thanks a Latte

The papertake weekly challenge this week is:
This weeks challenge, Thanks a Latte, is to make a thank you card! There's an optional extra to use coffee and cream colours too (the Latte bit lol!)
I have combined the two challenges in this card.
The image is Picking Apples (Sweet Ebony) and I have watercoloured her in brown s and tones of orange. Hopefully it has created an autumnal feel. I have matted her onto papers by K and Ko and Papermania. The flower, brad and ribbons are from stash, as are the peel off words. By the way the flower turned in the scanner - the words should be straight!! I have faux stitched round the papers using a brown marker for a change.

As apple picking is done in Autumn and I have tried to create an autumnal feel I am also going to use this card for the Time to Craft challenge this week.

Hope you like,
hugs
