Hello!
Happy Wednesday! We are officially into fall now and it has to be one of my favourite seasons - okay, it's my favourite. I love the coolness in the air and the beautiful colours of the leaves. I also love pumpkins...have I mentioned that before?! I have an obsession with stuffed ones. Okay, so I have only just started this obsession but I found the cutest knit one at Hobby Lobby when we were vacationing in Kentucky. It made the trip home with us! As I told my friend Linda Callahan the other day, I'm a funky nut!
So we have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today courtesy of the amazing Rita Wright. She is our in house colouring queen. Well, many of our team colour fabulously but Rita can colour anything! Head to her blog and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
I was a little stumped with Rita's sketch but then decided I would give a fall'ish wreath a try. I whipped out the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and die and after about 4 tries finally got a half decent wreath I could use. If you struggle with this stamp set, know you aren't alone. If you don't struggle, know you are alone!!!!
I decided to keep the background and my banner white, though in hindsight it probably should have been vanilla. Oh well. I like white! I threw on some Crushed Curry flowers and some pearls and called it a day!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Early Espresso
Stamps: Wondrous Wreath, Acorny Thank You, Pictogram Punches
Ink: Sahara Sand, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry
Other: Wondrous Wreath Framelits, Itty Bitty Punches (?), Basic Pearls, Banner Framelits, Itty Bitty Banners, Dimensionals
Have a fabulous day!
