Autumn Folk is Card No. 5 in the Petal & Paint collection, filled with tiny woodland friends enjoying all the loveliest parts of autumn — gathering pumpkins, collecting mushrooms, pushing wheelbarrows of seasonal treasures and wandering amongst the falling leaves.

Designed especially for nail artists, each illustration can be used as inspiration for creating your own hand-painted nail stickers, giving you intricate, storybook-style character art without having to draw every design completely from scratch.

🐭 Meet the Autumn Folk

This card includes a whimsical collection of:

• 🐰 Rabbits carrying tiny pumpkins
• 🦔 Hedgehogs gathering mushrooms
• 🐭 Mice with pumpkins & autumn treasures
• 🐿️ Squirrels collecting acorns
• 🦌 A little woodland deer
• 🦊 Foxes with pumpkins
• 🐦 A tiny woodland bird
• 🍄 Mushrooms & toadstools
• 🎃 Pumpkins
• 🍂 Falling leaves & botanical details
• 🛒 A tiny harvest wheelbarrow
• Coordinating black outline versions to paint yourself

🎨 Coloured inspiration + paintable outlines

Use the finished illustrations as your colour guide, then recreate them using the coordinating outlines — or completely change the palette to suit your own nail set.

The templates give you the structure of the illustration while leaving the painting, colour choices and finishing details up to you.

Try warm pumpkin oranges and earthy greens, muted pinks and browns, or even turn the same characters into a completely different seasonal colour story.

🍂 Create tiny stories on your nails

Autumn Folk is particularly lovely for creating mismatched storybook nail sets.

Choose one little character as your feature nail, then surround them with tiny pumpkins, leaves, mushrooms, dots, gingham, florals or French tips.

You could even combine the characters with Autumn Sprinkles or The Pumpkin Patch to build your own miniature woodland scenes.
