Feeling Like Fall

It's starting to feel more like fall around here, some of the trees are starting to change color, college football Saturdays are in full swing, and actually this is my favorite time of the year. I love crisp mornings when I need a light jacket. So I played with Whimsical Autumn again tonight and this is what I came up with. I love these images because they are so good for coloring. I used my Prismacolor Premier Markers this time. The squirrel was cut out and popped up with dimensionals. I also used one of my new CB embossing folders for this card.

WSC56 - Beate's Sketch

So I have been a busy stamper today.....This is for Beate's weekend sketch challenge, The base of the card is a sheet of 6X12 Real Red Card Stock Folded in half. The image is from Sandy Claws Gina K. It's actually a full penguin, so I cropped it into a square. The DSP and the Red stripe down the side is from the Stampin Up "I Wish" Scrappin Kit. 

Off to visit family for awhile!

This is for the Gina K Sketch Challenge from Friday's Release Party. The challenge was hosted by Cammie. For this challenge, I decided to use an image from Gina K's Summer Harvest Set. I just cut this set up recently and really love these images. 

The image was stamped in Black Stazon on Whisper White, and then I colored it in with WWC and Blender Pen, The DSP is SU Ginger BLossom. Other colors I used on the card are : Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Ruby Red. 

Thanks for looking!

The second challenge was hosted by Jessica, to take a 6X6 sheet of pattern paper, cut it into four pre-determined sizes, and use all four pieces to make a card. I chose the Jersey Shore DSP, and the set Whatever Floats Your Boat to make my card. I used my circle nestabilities for the main image, which was stamped in black Stazon on Whisper White.
The inside of the card is below
