Thankful, grateful, blessed

 

I am thankful, grateful, and blessed this year. I had almost stopped crafting due to the shaking in my hands, but I decided this time last year to give it another chance. I really missed being creative. I was able to find tools to minimize my physical limits, and now I'm enjoying myself again. This card was done with the Gina K. Wreath Builder System, Autumn Wreath Builder stamp set, and her Autumn ink selection as well as Master Layouts 2. I did use cream and dark brown instead of white and black as she often does.

Harvest blessings

 Another Newton card! I can't help it-he's a favorite. Colored with Copics, the papers are from Hobby Lobby, and the embellishments are from Trinity Stamps. The oval was cut with Newton's Nook oval set. I promise to provide some non-cat cards and projects soon! No posts until Monday, due to family obligations.

Be Thankful

 This card was made for an Inky Paws color challenge a while back. I believe the colors were black, cream, orange, and green. Not sure if the bundle in the center is supposed to be corn or wheat, but it looks sufficiently fallish either way. I got the kitties a lot darker than I intended, but live and learn. I colored the scene with Copic markers and then used the Newton's Nook Frames and Flags die set to cut out the pieces of the card. The gingham paper is from the Newton's Nook Autumn paper pad, and the solids I had in my stash.

A Sweet Fall Card

 There seem to be only two opinions on candy corn-you either love it or you hate it-there is no in between. I happen to love it and to love this Lawn Fawn stamp set that coordinates with their How You Bean jar. The background is ink blended with Distress Oxides in  Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade and then I made a shaker using fill from Trinity Stamps. I colored the inside of the jar with Copic markers and finished it off with a twine bow. As candy corn season draws to an end I wanted to share this card with you.

Fall Fun!

 Using Lawn Fawn's platform pop-up and add-on, I created this fall scene. The hedgehog is going to undo all the cat's hard work when he lands in that leaf pile! And the fox is just peeking out to watch the aftermath. Other stamp sets used were Purrfectly Wicked, Jump for Joy, and Into the Woods. The images were colored with Copic markers.

Fall Breeze, Autumn Leaves

 This card incorporates the Newton's Nook Autumn paper pad, their Frames and Flags die set, and the Autumn Newton stamp set. The image was colored with Prismacolor colored pencils. I love the colorful leaves in the fall, and where I live we really don't get much in the way of changing leaves, so this card represents my wish. I had to make Newton a Siamese this time to honor the cat I had growing up.

Paper pieced pumpkins

 This is from the Lawn Fawn fall/winter release. The pumpkins and wagon are done with their red/orange canvas card stock and black licorice outline using their adhesive sheets to hold the pieces in place. I used Watercolor Wishes paper for the sky and grass, which was cut with the Grassy Hillside border and a  Small Stitched Rectangle. I then cut a Large Stitched Rectangle from some Fall Fling paper and mounted the smaller rectangle using foam tape. The sentiment is from Simply Celebrate Fall.

Shades of orange

This card is an entry in Lawn Fawn's monochrome challenge. I chose to ink a background with Distress Ink in Spiced Marmalade and then stencil with the same shade in Distress Oxide using the Fall Leaves Background stencil. The pumpkins and sentiment are from the Simply Celebrate Fall stamp set. The pumpkins were colored with Copic markers and I inked the background of the sentiment, then cut it out with the Everyday Sentiment Banners die.
