Single Layer Card Challenge over at Come and Get It ! Eureka! Stamps is the sponsor~

This is a great challenge over at Come And Get It~ the twist is to make a single layer card!  I'm using this wonderful image called Autumn Scarecrow from Eureka! Stamps  and it came in a png format.  That's so handy when you need to make one of these cards.
Digitally on my printing program I cropped some great vintage paper, made to "ribbon" strips with another paper and crossed them in the corner.  Then I found some great fall foliage sprays free online and placed them on top of the ribbon.  It was time for the b&w Eureka! Stamp image and I slid it over onto the layered images.  I've never been so nervous coloring an image before-was so afraid to go outside the lines!!  I tried for rich colors on the shelf and added some shadowing to try for get some dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in the corner and used an "Autumn" sticker in the opposite corner.  I'll get off easy at the Post Office with this winner!  On the inside liner I used a complimentary design paper and used a stamp from KKS in my stash.  That cardstock sticker really sets it off!

Come and Get It Always has such interesting challenges and Sponsors!  If you are a winner for this challenge, the prize is 5 images! 
We can't wait to see your creations!

Back to School, Welcome Fall, Great time of the Year at Lacy Sunshine!

 Even though we're still in August, the kids around here are now in school, the evening air is getting crisp and it won't be long before the leaves get ready to turn.
At Lacy Sunshine, we're celebrating this time of year with some great fall digital images from the Lacy Sunshine Shoppe~there are SO many to choose from!!
The one I chose is named Cider and she's sitting in a wooden barrel full of assorted apples-can't you just hear the crack of you biting down into the ripe apple?  I did a 3/4 split on the front of the card, using a double sided fall print.  Then using a cardstock sticker I used it for my front sentiment.  I tried something new this time-I used my watercolor pencils to color the leaves in the set with multiple fall colors.  Then, using a water pen, blended into the dimensional accents you see at the bottom.
Come and join our next challenge which starts on August 23rd!  We'd love to see your creations!!

Sketch #47 on Seems a Little Sketchy-an Apple a Day!

We are so lucky on Seems A Little Sketchy to be able to use these great digis from Robyn's Fetish-this one is such a perfect Fall scene!  A lush basket of Apples~~ummm I can just taste the crisp crunch of the Apple!

 
I love the fact that you get such interesting sketches from SALS to use every 2 weeks-this challenge has as a prize, a $10 certificate from The Robin's Nest and 3 digital images from Robyn's Fetish.  WELL worth your effort to enter the challenge!
The card I made is 6x6 using double sided dp from Bella Blvd called Thankful-love these papers from BB. (The green floral is the reverse).  The Apple paper and brown CS are from my stash as is the sentiment heavy cardstock accent sticker.  I used copics to color my image.
Imagine there are many families heralding in the Fall with the kids going back to school now or soon~hopefully, here in Illinois, there was enough rain during the spring and summer that we'll get some beautiful Fall foliage soon.  I hope that you will have that beauty also.  Happy Fall Y'all!
