Fall Fun

Hello! It’s the third Thursday of the month, so time for a new challenge at Imagine That Digi Stamps. For my DT card used a digi and sentiments from an Imagine That set named Autumn.  I colored the cute image with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen and adhered them to an upcycled Z-fold base atop a circle of rust-colored vellum. A few fussy cut leaves from the digi and some pretty ribbon from Hobby Lobby embellish the card.

One added note- The designer/owner of Imagine That, Kris Breach, provides her DTs with a coupon code that allows any friends a discount on their next digi order. If you stop by the shop I know that you'll find lots of digis you'll want to add to your collection. Then, make sure to enter your card into this months challenge with an "Anything Goes" theme for a chance to win a $12 coupon to the Imagine That Digistamp shop, or a Top 3 award which includes 2 free digi sets of your choice and an invite to be our Guest Designer in the next challenge!  You can find the full rules HERE.

This is my fifth entry into Beccy’s 7^th Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge. I'm entering is as the letter "G" for Gatefold card. It features a bold sentiment from a Beccy’s Place digi set named Tied Up With Strings and freebie Retro Santa Image from the Graphics Fairy. I colored the sentiment and image with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. The inside sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley digi set named Christmas Wishes. I added texture to his hat and fussy-cut the little holly from the inside paper to adhere to the greeting on the front. I love tying the card front and inside together in simple ways! (The paperclip isn't part of the card. It just holds the gatefold shut for the picture.) I'm entering this card into several challenges including Double D's "What's Your Christmas Style?" In answer to that question... I don't know if I have a specific style for Christmas cards. I make call kinds- cute, vintage, elegant and willy. This one is fun and colorful!)

My final card is for the November Progressive Challenge at Outlawz. The sweet image provided to participants this month is named “Moving House” from artist Hetty Claire. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. The sweet image highlights a special card that is being sent to a very special lady, my 97 year old MIL, Sally, who recently moved to a nursing home. We have a gift of her favorite treats ready to deliver and this card is sure to make her smile, especially since I adhered it to a scrap of an old South Dakota map and added an arrow that points to her new home in Sioux Falls. Also the little wagon wheels are attached with brads, and they actually turn! So fun! Am entering this card into several challenges including Outlawz  Tuesday Color Challenge (I used fuscia, purple and green plus the flower in her hair is the twist.)
