Fall Flourish

I loved 365 cards challenge 251! Fall colors with at least 3 flourishes! I used a card with a pre-cut window, covered the inside with gold paper and added a thank you sentiment. I used 3 flourish stamps and randomly stamped with versamark ink all over the front. Then I sprayed the front with gold glimmer mist to make the flourishes stand out a bit. The finishing touch was some of my fave multi-colored fiber.

Combo Challenge 250

For Challenge 250 we had to choose a previous challenge from the past 3 months and combine something from each into 1 card.

August 179 was a white space sketchSeptember 209 was a "keep it simple" challenge - 1 image, 1 sentiment and 1 embellishment
October 237 included stamping on an envelope to match the card

Here's my entry:

Watercolors

Once again I was forced out of my comfort zone by a 365 Cards challenge. Day 242's task was to use only watercolors on a stamped image. I usually stamp small images or words on my cards, so this was different for me. I had watercolor markers, although I don't use them very often. Here's my take on the challenge.

Scraplift card

Day 243's challenge at 365 Cards was to scraplift 2 of your own cards. I pulled the triangles from this card . . .



and the ticket sentiment from this card . . .

and voila!

Blog inspiration

Day 244 Challenge at 365 Cards was to use their awesome new banner as inspiration. I loved the fall colors and used those for my color scheme. The flourishes were the perfect "corners" for the card.

A flock of book fairies!

We were so excited to dress up this year for Halloween at MtV! My teaching partner and I joined forces with the librarians and transformed into our alter egos -- the book fairies! We each put our own twist on our costumes, but they were all similar. The kids loved it!
