This easy card was made for the Inspiration challenge on Splitcoaststampers. We were to draw inspiration from a company called iDesignMe. This was my inspiration. I mostly went with the colors of my inspiration piece...the green in the top, left corner and the recycled hot air balloons on the bottom right. I noticed a few swirls there, too. Yes, that is what it says on the packaging. It was an Italian site and I had to use my translator to find out about the hot air balloons. :-)
All I had to do was make a few swirls with my Memento Dew Drop pad and stamp the sentiment. Now, I have a Fall card and a Thanksgiving card, too.
I'm entering my card into the challenge at Inkspirational #41-Anything Goes
Stampin' for the Weekend has an Anything Goes challenge so I'm posting my card there.
Also, Sister Act Card Challenge has an Anything Goes this week so I'm heading there with my card.
This card puts me into an Autumn mood and I'm heading to the pumpkin patch today with my neighbor/friend. There will be plenty of mums, pumpkins, and pansies to be had....along with hay bales and things for the season. Fun, fun.

This is gorgeous, Brenda! Very creative CAS design! I love it!
STUNNING!
Those 'whooshes' you created really have movement to them, Benzi. It's like some air is flowing through silk scarves!
Oh WOW! Super cool looking. I've never thought to do something like that with the ink pads. Very creative and pretty!

Oh I love it, Brenda. Gorgeous colors and I've tried the ink pad thing, but it has never some out as nice as yours. GREAT job.
I love how you've swirled these colors! I'm going to try that with my spots. Beautiful sentiment too! So perfect for this time of year. Have fun at the pumpkin patch!
This has to be one of your most creative cards ever, and I really LOVE how it turned out! The colors are so pretty, and that great sentiment is just what those swirls needed! Gorgeous!
Stunning!! I must try using my Memento pads like this. Thank you so much for the inspiration! Your card is really lovely. Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges!
My gracious, this looks like a beautiful painting. Your swirls are so graceful, and it reminds me of the swirling leaves as they fall. Yep, great Fall or Thanksgiving card. Good job, & TFS

Brenda, this is just lovely. Simple and fun. Forgive me for being away so long, have had some illnesses. Hopefully, I am getting back on track now. Hugz, joann
Absolutely stunning! I love it!
Wow how cool is that Brenda!! I love the way you created the swirls, they give the coolest since of movement, just what you think of when you think of the Spirit! Fabulous :)
What a great technique! Gad, I've missed your art!! Love this and want to try it. TFS!!!!
Stunningly simple, Benzi, and I really love it! Totally clever use of the Dew Drop ink pads; far better than any attempt I ever managed. I'm afraid mine end up in the "round" file. This is perfect!
I think this has to be one of my favs ever....I just love the effect you got with your direct to paper technique....just fabulous
