Stamp Off Challenge Colorful Seasons Sketch

Hey friends.  Thank you for joining Susan, Buffy and

myself for another Stamp Off Challenge.  This is our

first for November.  Time sure is flying.

This week, we have a wonderful sketch challenge.

Sketch challenges are my favorite, and I prefer "simple"

sketches, so that you have a good base to build on.

I tried to orient this card vertically, but the elements 

worked better on a horizontal orientation.  I wanted to

create a fall card with some glitz, so used a lot of gold components.

The leaf images from Colorful Seasons (p 147) were spritzed and stamped in different colors, on watercolor paper.  Once dry,

I gold embossed the leaf images over top.  I gold embossed

the sentiment from the Flourishing Phrases stamp 

set (p 24) on to black c/s, to create some drama.

These components were layered on to a strip of 

Bundle of Love Specialty DSP on page 189.  Finally, the

card base was run through the Brick Wall Textured

Impressions Embossing Folder.  I colored candy dots
with a gold Sharpee Marker

I hope that you liked our sketch.  Remember to check
out the lovely projects created by Buffy and Susan.
