Autumn Greetings

 It is officially Autumn!  So my card for FMS #705 is reflecting this season.  I just love fall!

For my three panels, I used autumn leaves.  They are cut from a die set by Pretty Pink Posh called Stitched Leafy Borders.  The paper pad I used to cut out the leafy borders is from Authentique called Natural.  

The greeting is also from Pretty Pink Posh.  It is a stamp set called Autumn Pumpkins.

Love Grows

 Here is my card for FMS #704.

The flowers are from a die set by Memory Box called Ruffled Blooms.  (I used them on a previous card sketch challenge).  I colored them with a variety of Catherine Pooler inks.  I placed them onto a piece of cardstock from a pack called Minuet by Memory Box.  I first cut it out with one of the dies by Paper Rose called Stitched Rectangles A6 and layered that onto a teal colored piece of cardstock that I cut out with one of the same but larger stitched rectangles.

The sentiment is from a Pinkfresh Studio stamp set called Always Uplifting.

Special Flowers

 I decided to try my hand at a color challenge with The Paper Players.  This is color challenge PP755.

I had to look for some older cardstock that I had in my stash to come up with the colors. The floral/feathery background is from a paper pad set by Authentique called Renew.  The sketch I used for this challenge came from Splitcoast Stampers Sketch #1079.

The four flowers are from a die set by Memory Box called Ruffled Flowers.  The sentiment is by a stamp set by Penguin Palace called Unity & Friendship Quotes.

Blooms For You

Happy Sunday!  

Here is my card for FMS #703.

To create the arch design, I used a die set by Pinkfresh Studio called Terrarium.  I adhered the cutout negative to some glittery paper to make it look like a glass dome and cut the base out of gold cardstock.  The flowers are from two different die sets that are both by Cottage Cutz.  One is Springtime Bluebell Flowers and the other is Spring Foliage.  The sentiment is from a Waffle Flower stamp set called Full Bloom Sentiments

Busy Bee

 I thought that I would try using one of my StampingBella stamps that I got a while back for this sketch challenge by Try A Sketch On Tuesday.  This is TSOT #678.  

The stamp set I used is Tiny Townie Busy Bee by StampingBella.  I colored the images and fussy cut them out.  I used an older embossing folder by Cuttlebug (remember them) called Honeycomb.  I adhered that to a piece of Altenew card stock from "Blushing Blooms" that happened to be a honeycomb design.  I popped my Tiny Townie Busy Bee onto the embossed part, along with a couple of little bees.

Autumn Blessings

 It's another weekend.  It's Saturday to be exact.  

I finished this card last night (Friday) so I'm just now posting it.

This card is for Freshly Made Sketches #702.  I went with a fall/autumn theme.

For the focal point, I used a die set called Wreath by "Reverse Confetti".  (This company is no longer in business.)😞 It comes with two separate dies so I used them both.  The two leaves are part of a die set from Creative Expressions called Flower Garden.  The sentiment is from a stamp set by Picket Fence Studios called "An Autumn Pair of Boots".
