Wild Flower Wednesday Fall Colors

It’s Wild Flower Wednesday time again and that means it’s time for a new challenge! This week our challenge is fall colors.

A quick announcement! Be sure to stop by the Wild Flower Patch store today. Annie has released some GORGEOUS new templates that you much check out. There is a new tall Gable box and the cutest cupcake stand along with a fun shape cut files. You’re going to love those!

For my card I used Tom the Turkey and colored him with Copics. I used some gorgeous 7Gypsies and October Afternoon designer papers along with a Basic Grey sentiment to make this card. I’m being a bit cheeky with that sentiment. I have a friend who’s birthday is very near and occasionally on Thanksgiving day so this card and when I was looking for a sentiment I thought this one was perfect!

I’m really working on making some cleaner simpler cards these days. I tend to fuss and fuss and fuss and take forever to make cards to I’m trying to expand my horizons a bit and not go so nuts with layout extras. I’m not sure if it’s a good fit for me yet or not but I don like how this came out with the sponged circles and the one punched corner.

Here’s a closer look at the coloring:

Farm Fresh Friday Inspiration

Birthday Wishes detail

It’s Friday and that means it’s time for Farm Fresh Friday’s over at The Greeting Farm blog! Our challenge this week is to use an inspiration photo as our starting point.

As I got started I went straight for those colors and the roundness off the tube. For my card this week I used Laurie with Present digital stamp and colored her with Copics. I cut her out with my Classic Circle Large Nesties and bordered her with a Blossom Nestie. The background paper is Kioshi by Basic Grey. I added a small punched strip behind her using my Martha Stewart edge punch and another layer of Kioshi paper. The sentiment is from Kraftin Kimmie’s Everyday Sentiments.

Birthday Wishes

To finish it off I added a doubled flower using a Recollections flower and a PTI button. I added some faux stitching with a white gel pen and some Dew Drops to the corners.
