Autumn Greetings

 I'm squeezing this card in for Try A Sketch On Tuesday.  This TSOT Challenge #704.

It took me a little while to think of what I wanted to use for this card. 

I think this might be qualify for the Double Trouble Challenge #255 also. 



My background paper is from a paper pad by Carta Bella called Fall Market.

My borders are from a die set by Jeanine's Art called Flower & Leaf Borders.  I used the leaf border from the set.

The two leaves are from a die set by Waffle Flower called Fall Leaves.

The sentiment is from a Sunny Studio stamp set called Autumn Greetings.  I fussed cut the sentiment out after I stamped it.

Owl on Haystack

 Here's another card for FMS #755.  



I just had to try out the Hay There die by Waffle Flower.  I used the coordinating stencil on it using Distress Inks Scattered Straw and Fossilized Amber.

I also used Grass Texture by Waffle Flower for the background and placed a little owl on top of the haystack.  The owl die is by Flora & Fauna.

The sentiment is from a stamp set by Waffle Flower called Fall Greetings.

Beary Much

This card is for two challenges: FMS #755 and The Paper Players Clean & Simple Challenge PP804.

I do think it fits well with both card challenges.

For my background, I used the Woodgrain die by Waffle Flower along with the stencils.  I cut it out using Deckled Frames die set by Mama Elephant.  That is layered on top of a piece of ochre colored cardstock.

My bear is from a stamp set by Penny Black called A Big Hug.  I colored him with colored pencils, die cut him out and placed him on top of three Stitched Stones by Heffy Doodle.

Behind him is a fence from Cottage Cutz called Old Farm Fence.

The sentiment comes from the same stamp set by Penny Black: A Big Hug.

I'm entering this card into two challenges.  FMS #753 Sketch Challenge and The Paper Players PP803 color challenge.

I used the die set Pumpkin with Stem by Waffle Flower.

The sentiment is from a Waffle Flower stamp set called Blessings of Fall.

Sweet Birthday Wishes

This cute card came together pretty quickly after watching the video of how to put the die together.

The die is from Lawn Fawn called Froyo Friend.  It can either be a cup of ice cream or yogurt.

I just knew this would fit well with TSOT #703.

The colorful border is from an Altenew paper pack called Dreamy Sunset and the sentiment is from Pink & Main: Sweet Birthday.




Morning Chicken

I kind of went way out with this sketch challenge FMS #752.  I had a piece of cardstock that I had embossed some time ago with Barbed Wire 3D embossing folder by Honey Bee Stamps and I said, what goes with barbed wire?  And I thought, chickens.  And my sketch slowly came together.

My chicken is a die set by Impression Obsession.  I added a sun from My Favorite Things called Full Sun.  And the grass under the chicken's feet is a die by Impression Obsession.  The sentiment is from Simon Hurley called Spring Chicken.
