Along Came Autumn!!

Happy Weekend to you all--hope its a great one for ya! I'm working today as much as I can so I can enjoy tomorrow with my BOYZZZ! LOL! Alexa is at the beach with her friends and won't be home until late on Sunday. And let me tell you the weather here at night has been COLD--brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  Me no likey that--does that mean winter is soon to come!  I don't like the cold very much and I'm not liking the 45-50 degree nights.  Once my patio is done I will be sitting INSIDE the fireplace, lol, like a chicken roaster!  Anywho, I'll stop chattin' and get to my project info for you!  On Sunday night Gina K's DT will be having a fun Blog Hop so stop by for that as well :)

Along Came Autumn!

I'm sharing an elegant fall card for you today using a fabulous NEW Lockhart Stamp Co stamp called "Basket of Leaves".  If you ever need an elegant stamp that is fun to color you've gotta go for a Lockhart Stamp--they're so different from most stamps, great still-life images and I just love them.  You can find the entire NEW FALL Lockhart Collection at SCACD HERE!

I created this for a few challenges (yes, cheer me on I'm sticking with the challenge thing & getting better at them, lol)!  The big one is for the SCACD TIOT which was a "2x2x2" Challenge--to use 2 papers, 2 embellishents and 2 products-details below! So I'm entering this into the 365 Cards-Wednesday's Challenge (Fave Tool/Fave Technique) and my fave tool is of course my Copics and Cuttlebug and my fave technique is adding bling with stickles and texture with embossing! Also entering this into the Anything Goes Challenge Blog (autumn/fall projects)!

I love fall colors--they're so much fun to use and so many different combos to use!  My new "Copic Color Combo's PDF" (also linked in my NewsBitz above) has tons of color combos for each color family and fave colors for many objects--one of them is FALL objects and you will find all my fave colors I use for fall images (which I used on this image as well)!  The cream cs was embossed with a new CB folder, love the small print.  Then I used some paper scraps for the two strips across the card for some extra color.  All the cs is from PTI (summer sunrise & terracotta tile) including the ribbon.  The fun shapes behind my image are layered cutouts from the SB Nesties "Labels 3"(25% off too)!

 So for the 2x2x2 TIOT Challenge I used 2 papers (cs counts as 1 and pp as 2), 2 embellies are Kaisercraft Rhinestones & ribbon and 2 products which are Stickles and Diamond Glaze!  Go Me, LOL!  Diamond Glaze on the apples and stickles (gold & copper) on the leaves and basket trim.  A fun fall card for you!  Hope you'll give some of these challenges a try as well!  And stop by the SCACD Blog to see the other DT gals fun projects too HERE!

See ya Sunday Night!
