Hi there! How can it be Monday already? Man, that weekend went by fast! Saturday we were out running around doing errands all day. Yesterday I was invited to one of my crafty gal pals' house to stamp and visit - and it was lovely! I don't know about you, but I always have the HARDEST time deciding what to bring over to someone's house, or to a crop night. The hubs came up with a great idea....just pack up my markers and color. That's just what I did. Packed up the Copics and some cute stamp sets and a couple of ink pads. It was super easy and no fuss. When I got home, I put this card together with one of the images I colored. SUPER adorable stamp set from Darcie's!!
I got this fun card layout from Pinterest! I do that a lot, go through cards I like and use the sketch/layout. This one is a keeper! I used some pretty bright yellow paper to set off the color in the leaves. At first I was going to use orange....but I've been overdoing the orange lately. LOL.
I added some little touches of Hero Arts Prisma Glitter to the leaves. It's really sweet - that glitter is so perfect for just a smidge of sparkle. Oh, and now it's covering my entire craft room!
Here is a side shot of my layers...
Autumn Greetings to you my friends in cyber-space! I hope that you have a wonderful week!!! I'm starting to celebrate my birthday today (it's on Sunday, but I'm starting now!!) and we are doing Boo Buddies at work. Should be a fun week. XOXO
Hi Wanda, Just wanted to say Hi and wish you a wonderful birthday. Hope that you are doing something special & wonderful. Enjoy!

What a great idea to just pack a few stamps and your markers for your get-together. I always have such a hard time packing for these events, too. LOVE your sweet Autumn card creation! What an adorable image, superbly colored! Love the touches of glitter, and love that design with the peek a boo window! :)

Love the card and as you say the sketch is a keeper, simple but elegant... I always take too much when I craft at friends, I may borrow your idea and just take my pens in future, especially as I treated myself to the big copic bag recently..... x

Darling card. I love the sparkly leaves. Like you, I always have a hard time packing up supplies for my art days with friends. Inevitably, I leave one important thing at home. Coloring or assembly line cards (Christmas) usually works well.

What a sweet and fun little autumn card! You're right...that's a great layout and love your touch of sparkle on the leaves! Like the Boo Buddies idea...have to remember that for next year with my coworkers! Is this like a secret pal name exchange?
