My Friend

I have had a busy few days with a smidgen of a stupid accident that left me with 6 stitches. :o)  So NOT good!  I am just fine, but am inconvenienced with a sore left thumb....so bow making will not be accomplished for a bit, hee~hee!

I made this card using
Inspiration Mosaic and clear embossed the leaves (from Autumn Leaves) using Versamark.  Afterwards the panel was brayered with an autumn colored spectrum pad.   A nice wow effect with little effort.  I am so looking forward to cooler temperatures and seeing the leaves change colors...fall is my favorite time of the year!

Well, before I go I have a sneak peek of the card I made for the Sketch Girls Challenge.  Leigh Ann came up with another great sketch that had me stretching my creativity.  I made this card twice..the first one didn't quite fit so I tried it again and came up with this one....which you will see in its entirety on the 31st! :o)

Have a wonderful day!!!

Oh no, sorry you hurt your thumb, nothing worse than a hurt thumb you use them for so much... Your card is beautiful!! Hugs! Sorry you have not seen me in a while, between a sick daughter, wicked bad allergies and a sinus cold I have not been in the posting mood.

I have not seen a card yet that I don't like from this set! Great job!! Love the ribbon treatment - I don't recall seeing that done before and will have to "borrow" it! :)

The colous on this card are stunning and so is the design. It just begs to be picked up and studied!

Keep those fingers away from sharp things, girl!
