OWH Stars and Stamps Sketch Challenge #77

Good Sunday afternoon.   This scketch was easy but again I struggle with what colors and what stamp.  I  dont' have many stamps that fit  in a 1 1/2" circle.  I also wanted to stay with the Fall theme to try and balance out my cards to send in for the OWH "Beat the Heat" Challenge.   Once I figured out all of that -- it went together very fast.  And for those of you participating in the "Beat the Heat" challenge--remember your cards need to be to your shippers on or before July 31st.

Here's my attempt at this weeks challenge.  Thanks for stopping in and have a wonderful week.



I used Paperloft: Autum Blaze for the background - the circles I used generic cardstock except for the copper circle - I used Recollections.
The sentiment:  Impression Obsession - Bountiful Harvest
The leaf stamp:  Inkadinkado
Leaft Brads are by Impressions

OWH Stars and Stamps Wednesday Challenge and Sketch #75

Good Wednesday afternoon -- I decided to combine Sunday's Sketch #75 Challenge with today's challenge.   I didn't get a chance until today to do the Sunday Challenge - I was busy making cards for a local dog shelter  -- another cause that is near and dear to my heart.  I made the Fall card -- without the bow and replacing it with a leaf embellishment.  The 2nd card follows the sketch with the ribbon and bow but is isn't really  fall -- not sure where it is in the spectrum of the seasons, more summer?

 

I like this sketch -- easy to do although I ended up making more scraps because I didn't have the colors in my scrap bin that I wanted to work with, so I'll just have to make more of these cards using these paper scraps.  (smile)

The leaf paper for the Fall card is from The Paper Loft - Autumn Blaze, the orange and green are from cardstock scraps.  The sentiment is from Impression Obsession, Shara Phelps Collection.  The leaf sticker is from EKSuccess.

The 2nd cards I used paper from K&Company, Tim Coffey.  The sentiment is from Clearartstamps.

Thanks for stopping in and taking a peek.   This weekend's Independence Day Virtual Pary sounds like a lot of fun.  Hope your planning to join the fun!?!  Wishing you a good rest of the week.

Warm regards,

Sharon
