Happy Fall, Ya'll...

I think that fall is in the air! It's been a little chilly in Missouri! Today was beautiful, but crisp. A very fitting day to work on a 'fall' card! I chose to work on the Cuttlebug Challenge this afternoon. The theme was to make either a 'fall' or 'Halloween' card. As I currently am in need of a masculine card, I chose to work on the 'fall' card!

Starting with a piece of pumpkin colored cardstock, I just sponged various shades of greens, oranges, browns, and yellows. It's actually more of a medium green overall shade than what it seems on the "tv", not an orangy color... I then used the Cuttlebug embossing folder "Bird Call". After embossing, the embossed areas were chalked with green and brown.

Next, I inked up Theresa Momber's newest set for Gina K. Designs, "Very Merry Christmas". What a beautiful set! The image was stamped on Gina K's luxury ivory (thanks Shirley!), and colored with Kooh-I-Noor pencils. The edging was done with a Krylon Gold Paint Pen. The red CS was the sparkly cardstock that TAC sells. After coloring, little accent dots were added with a Sakura Starburst Gelly Roll Pen. I liked the way that the dots gave the image a velvety look.

Hope that you like these. I have so enjoyed Theresa's Merry Christmas set! I actually won this set playing on the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge a few weeks ago! It is wonderful!

Have a great night!
