Birdhouse Welcome

Today's color challenge on SCS really had me stuck for quite a while. Basic Gray, So Saffron, and Bermuda Bay... I wasn't certain which color I wanted to use as the predominant one. My usual strategy in tackling a color challenge is to find a piece of designer paper with one, some, or all of those colors in it and go from there. I found this leaf print from Autumn Meadows so then started thinking along the lines of a Nature card. I have really been into birds and birdhouses lately and fell in love with the digital image from Firecracker Designs By Pamela. I colored it in Copics using today's challenge colors. I hope you like it, it seemed so springy to me.

Time to start in on the cards for the next holiday now that Halloween is over! I made a wreath out of a little turkey stamp I had and colored it in Copic markers. Designer paper is Autumn Meadows and sentiment is from Give Thanks set by Stampin' Up.

Lovely As A Tree

This card is for the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS today honoring Lois (Clownmom). I kept the tree and basic layout from her card and changed the paper, ribbon, stamps, colors, and background. I used the Priceless swirl in Chocolate Chip and the little flower in More Mustard. The leaf is from Autumn Days stamped in Bermuda Bay, Ruby, Dusty Durango, some stamped off once for a lighter shade. The striped strip of designer paper down the center is from the Autumn Meadows pack. I wanted to mute it a little so I covered it in the organdy ribbon and added a bow. Brass hodgepodge hardware frames the sentiment from Season By Season. Lovely As A Tree stamped in Basic Brown and daubered with Apricot, Ruby, Pumpkin Pie inks and Old Olive for grass. Supplies are Stampin' Up, some retired.
