Well, I found a few more minutes this evening to stamp... the weather here will be cooler this week, so I'm hoping fall is finally on its way!
This card fit the bill for 3 challenges tonight, 2 Sketches 4 You #36, Pals Paper Arts #9 - which is a new one for me, and Pink Elephants Recipe Challenge!
I used a beautiful set from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catty, called Autumn Splendor, which will make a nice manly set after fall is no more! On the base of the card I used the Woodgrain background stamp, also manly! I stamped the leaves in Chocolate Chip onto mulberry paper & watercolored the greenish brown background & then used markers to color in the leaves. For the 3-D-ish leaves, I stamped them onto Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango & Always Artichoke, used a little marker on them, cut them out, crumpled them up & stuck them on! Hemp twine (some of it colored with a marker), a mustard button, a big eyelet & 'Give Thanks' (from a hostess set) finish it off!
Thanks for stopping in & have a great day!

Your card is incredible and absolutely GORGEOUS, Arielle! I love it! I love what you did with the leaves! Great color choices for them, too! They really "pop" against the stamped woodgrain background! Button accent is the perfect add-on to tie it all together! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Excellent job with the PPA Inspiration Challenge!
Stunning use of color and interpretation of the Pals Paper Arts inspiration photo. Excellent job on the sketch, too. Congrats on being a PPA Top Pick. Hugs, Mary
