Holy cow! What a weekend I had! Too much fun and not enough rest...and it's Monday night already. Wow. I ended up doing all kinds of fun crafty stuff this weekend, and all of it was unplanned. Life presented me with some fun opportunities and I took 'em! I went to some classes, met a new friend, spent time with old friends. Yowza...still processing all of it. I will tell you more, but I need to take pictures of some stuff first - to share with you. I hope that you had a fabbie weekend too!
Today's card is my entry for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #142. I L-O-V-E the sketch this week and had to play along. You have until Saturday to enter ... join me? Skip on over to Karen's to check it out.
Here's the cool sketch image: I know this one is a keeper!
Here are my supplies: The awesome brand new sets from Taylored Expressions are "Love Grows Here" and "Sunflower Wreath." I also used the new mini leaf dies and my favorite medium scallop die - all From Taylored Expressions too! LOVE the Away We Go collection from My Minds Eye - in the 6x6 pack! With all of that I had the makings for a nice Fall Thank You note!
Here is my Copic color palette. I love that teensiest pop of aqua in with all those Fall colors. Yummmmy for sure. The warm gray was used to color the fence in the image.
When I color, I keep my color chart and my patterned paper handy so I can match colors. I am kind of (kind of?) OCD when it comes to color matching! This is a great way to pull your project together...
The mini leaf dies make excellent accents for projects. Here I used some twine and a button to make my own embellishment. Isn't that little owl the cutest thing? The sentiment is from the Sunflower Wreath set and I used my stamp-a-majig to line it up under the tree image. I adore this new tree stamp set...didn't get enough last week and had to use it again right away!
Thank you, bloggy friends, for coming on by today!
Have a good one and I'll see you soon!
This is fantastic Wanda! I love the muted fall colors and that little tree is my favorite one of the whole set. :)
