Colors of Fall

I’ve always loved the floral images offered by Power Poppy, so appreciated their blogs World Cardmaking Day Challenge that encouraged us to create a card with fall in mind, uses a sentiment of gratitude AND uses a Power Poppy stamp! I knew just which of their stamps I would use- Autumns Opulence!

I used a digital stamp, printing it on vellum, coloring from the backside with shades of fall using my Spectrum Noir markers. I then added highlights on the top of the vellum with a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. The sentiments are both freebies from Decosses Dynamite Doodles (I cut the vellum that is below the front sentiment and used it to add some color to the middle of the card. Didn’t want to cover up all that opulence!)

The current challenge at Di’s Digital Stamps is to “Include a Pumpkin.” I looked through my Di’s Digi collection and pulled out an adorable image named “Doodle House 1” and set out to make it festive for Halloween. I colored it with my Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen, fussy-cut and attached it to a starry sky background. To meet the challenge requirements I added a few hand-drawn and colored pumpkins and set them beside two of the doors. I drew spiderwebs with a white gel pen on a few of the door frames and added torn vellum clouds over the moon to provide a bit of a spooky mood! (The  close-up pic shows the pumpkins and spider web details.) The moon is from a Di’s Digi image named Love You To The Moon and Back (Which is now on sale for just $2!) I also lightly sponged white craft ink around the moon to add a bit more of a hazy feeling to the scene. 
The pumpkins on the inside of the card are from a Cute As A Button Digi named "Thankful."

Cute As A Button-#49 Anything Goes   

Since I have two sisters, and we loved to dress up when we were little, I love this sweet digi from All Dressed Up named “Three Little Party Girls.”  For this card I just used one of the little cuties, creating a "shades of orange" card that I could enter into a few other challenges (Double D’s Orange and White Challenge and Outlawz Tuesday Monochromatic Color Challenge) The sentiment on the front of the card is computer generated. I cannot locate the inside sentiment in my digi files right now. (I currently have nearly 500 folders that contain nearly 7000 digis… so sometimes the individual sentiments aren’t easy to locate. I try to print the source next to them when I print them off… but forgot to do that this time. Sorry!)
