Fall Birthday Card and A Winner





I have a friend having a birthday this month and I wanted to  make a card similar to what I thought she would make. Well, that is quite impossible. If you know Carol at Chocolate Crafts and Bears, Oh My, then you know that is quite a big job. Wow! Can she ever make a super card and so many other crafty things. Take a look. I took my idea from this card of Carol's because I had an image a bit like hers, also a punch like hers.

 

Carol likes a lot of sparkle and gemstones on her cards so I tried to do that, too. I colored my image with Copics and sponged around it. My recipe is below.

 

NOW, it is time to announce the winner of my blog candy. Thanks to everyone who joined in  and the winner is ..............................

What a week! I won't even go into it except to say my house is destroyed and won't be the same for weeks. Well, it isn't really destroyed, but I feel that way...work crew is here. Need I say more?

On to the challenge at CCEE Stampers this week. Charlene Merrick, our hostess gave a color challenge:
Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, Pacific Point, Wild Wasabi, and a neutral of your choice. I only had one of those colors and could have substituted but I just decided I would sponge in some colors that were in the family.

I stamped a Rubber Stampede Fern Frond on my base and then stamped my image from Crafty Individuals that I won a while back. It doesn't have a name on the package, just CI-176. I sponged with these colors:
Memento Bamboo Leaves
Memento Danube Blue
Stampin'Up! Cherry Cobbler
Stampin'Up! Crushed Curry

The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy-Poppies and Greetings

All that was left was to add my black embellishments.

Hope you'll join this week at CCEE Stampers. Check out the rest of the  DT's samples and get out your crafting supplies and go to work. Then, link your creation.  That's it! Have fun.
