Happy Thanksgiving X 4

Getting ready for Thanksgiving with four cards using the sketch

at CAS(E) this Sketch.  The first two also use the colors at ColourQ,

except I missed that deadline ;).  I've been having fun with some of my 

new Mr. Huey's Color Mists.  They work perfectly to make fall leaves.

For these leaves I used Hot Dog and Taxi and cut them with dies 

from Cuttlebug. I used watercolor paper from Strathmore.

The sentiment is from Harvest Blessings by Craft's Meow.

White paper is by PTI.  Colored paper is by SU.

 

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

PTI Background Basics: Diamonds Impression Plate

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black 

Paper: So Saffron

Taylored Expressions Circles Impression Plate

 Ink & Paper:  SU Soft Suede

PTI Linen Impression Plate

 

Ink & Paper:  SU Tangerine Tango

PTI Woodgrain Impression Plate

I know they all quite similar.  Do you have a favorite?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Orange for CASology

I am honored to be the guest designer this week at CASology after 

winning with this wild card.  The cue word this week is "orange."

After an interesting conversation with my son about what to use for

orange I chose to use pumpkins.  I told him about the cue word, and

asked him what he thought I should stamp on my card.  First, he suggested 

an octopus, and asked "Does it have to start with the letter"O?"  I asked 

him if an octopus was really orange.  Then he suggested a cheetah.  I asked

if cheetahs more orange than yellow.  Then he asked if it had to be an

animal.  Of course I said "no."  After a long lull in the conversation, I 

asked what he thought about pumpkins.  Very emphatically he gave me 

the thumbs up.  Definitely not my most original idea for the cue word,

but I'm happy with how it turned out, and the inside is stamped with a 

Thanksgiving sentiment.

 

Supplies ~

Stamps:  My Favorite Things Primitive Pumpkin

Paper:  PTI White, SU Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz & Crumb Cake

Ink:  SU Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake & Pear Pizzazz (to ink the edges of the grass)

Howdy

A masculine card for the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays 

and the cue word "sugar" at CASology.  I am also entering 

this card at 52 card pickup.  There seems to be a lot of latitude

at CASology for the cue words.  How did I associate sugar and a 

horse?  Horses love sugar cubes ;).  I also really wanted to use
my new set from My Favorite Things ~ Howdy ;).

 

Supplies ~

Stamps:  My Favorite Things Howdy

Paper:  PTI White, SU Marina Mist & Not Quite Navy

With Heartfelt Sympathy

The challenge ending soon at CAS-ual Fridays is to use kraft.

I made these before the challenge, but never posted them.

Sadly, I have recently used up all of my sympathy cards,

and its difficult to have to make one quickly, so I had put 

together this trio of cards to have available.
