Hello everyone! Sorry I've been so quiet here lately. It's not from lack of trying or of anything fun to use. My job has been taking a bit of getting used to and now I seem to have gotten a nasty head cold. Between my son's soccer games and bike races I have not been creating as much as I would like. And the things that I have been working on are for a special edition coming soon!! Still need to finish up some details but I am really excited about the upcoming Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Collection 2014! Preview Week starts Sunday! But for now we have our regularly scheduled Thursday challenge! This week it's a sketch!
- Card base is Cajun Craze
- Adhere a piece of Color Me Autumn designer paper to the card base at an angle
- Flag the end of a strip of Color Me Autumn designer paper and adhere to card
- Flag the end of a strip of Early Espresso card stock and adhere to card
- Cut a circle from Whisper White using the Circles framelits
- Make a "mask" of the rolling hill from a post-it note and adhere it to the circle then stamp the tree image from Holiday Home on the far left using Early Espresso ink
- Before removing the "mask", take a Basic Black marker and draw the hill using the post-it note as your guide then remove the "mask"
- Stamp the second tree using Early Espresso ink
- Color the hill using Old Olive blendabilities
- Stamp the leaves image several times using Crushed Curry ink and then again using Cajun Craze ink
- Stamp the greeting using Old Olive ink
- Adhere circle to card with dimensionals and add three Early Espresso candy dots to circle

I absolutely LOVE this card! Such a great little scene! Wonderful job with the sketch challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteYour little trees are darling! And I love how you added a few little falling leaves here and there. You really created a beautiful Autumn card! I hope you feel better, Deb.
ReplyDeleteDeb, what a lovely seasonal scene you created on your card! I love the colors you chose and the papers you used to create your sweet card! Hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteI love this! You have created such a great fall scene here...right down to the little details on the leaves on the grass! Perfection!
ReplyDeleteThis card is so cute Deb. I lost my little leaves stamp after a class and it was my favorite. Love what you did with it!
ReplyDeleteA great card Deb - that little fall scene looks beautiful against those washed papers. Love the way you used the candy dots to add definition to your circle edge too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful fall card!! I love the scene as the focal point, such a great idea!
