You are blush-inducingly kind, dear Emma. Thank you very much for your super sweet compliments.

The marriage of black and gold is a perineal favourite of mine (see, for example, some of my handmade Christmas cards from last year) and one that I adore working with for a wide range of events, holidays, and everyday greetings alike.

I tend to wear it a fair bit, too (though do, admittedly, have more silver and grey in my wardrobe at present than I do gold), and love it in that (and most any other) capacity as well.

Thinking of you, lovely lady, and sending the merriest of summer-into-fall wishes your way!

🖤 Autumn

Thank you very much for your terrific comment, my sweet friend.

It is super cool that you used elements pertaining to making scarecrows to craft an anniversary card for John. Love that to bits – not the least because scarecrows are a perpetual favourite of mine. I even dressed up as one – straw and all – for Halloween in 2018.

I think of you often, dearest Donna, and wholeheartedly hope that life is smiling abundantly on you as the seasons turn and you head into spring again. 🌼

Oodles of hugs coming your way from ever-more-autumnal BC,
🖤 Autumn

Thank ups so much for sharing, and for your inspiration!

What an awesomely kind comment, dear Trina. Thank you very, very much! 😘

Hear, hear!!! Yes, granted, some guys will enjoy cards like this more than others, but I totally agree that there’s no reason we can’t make and give cards to males that embody elements that are more traditionally female. Beauty is beauty regardless of any gender qualities that may subjectively be attached to it.

My pleasure! Thank you so much for taking note of that section of this post. I’m bee-lighted to know you enjoyed my list of fun bee-related card sentiments.

Big hugs & the sunniest of late August wishes coming your way,

Superbly said, dear Willow. I wholeheartedly concur and have been drawn to the timeless shape of honeycombs since childhood.

One way I connect with this classic natural design is via a (gold-hued) metal trivet that we use nearly daily in our kitchen (and, from time to time, in some of my witchy workings elsewhere in the house, too). It is a year-round reminder of the beauty and organic symmetry that nature is able to produce all on its own.

Thank you very much for your sweeter-than-honey comment. It more than made my day.

Thank you sweetly, dear Annie. What a lovely, supportive comment. This card was a joy to make and I can already tell that it will inspire some of my future makes as well – possibly including a bee themed LO or mini album.

Big hugs & the sunniest of late summer wishes,
🖤 Autumn

You are as sweet as the finest honey, dear Pauline. Thank you very much. It warms my colour palette adoring heart to know that this elegant colour palette speaks to you as well. It would be stunning for winter holiday makes of all kinds as well.

I hope that you’re doing well and enjoying a relaxing, wonderful tail of August, my friend.

🖤 Autumn

Aww! Thank you very much, my treasured friend. Puns are always welcome and readily encouraged around these parts, fear not. I was digging deep into the vault of such myself when composing the list of bee-related sentiments that I included towards the bottom of this charming bee-day greeting.

Many heartfelt thanks again, coupled with a swarm of hugs!
🖤 Autumn
