Dressing Up The Front Door

Happy Fall!  Don't you just love how God give nature beautiful jewels in the fall?

This card too me all day. This door originally had Christmas wreaths and small Christmas trees in the small pots on each side of the door.  I first tried to color the door on craft paper, but I wasn't getting those deep rich colors I wanted, so I started over and I am really happy how it turned out.

I did this for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge IC405.  And this is what inspired me:

I'll Be Home for Christmas

This will probably be my last post until after Christmas. So let me take this time to thank all of you have visited my blog and left those cherished notes of encouragement.  Card makers make the sweetest friends.

This lovely stamp is from the Stampin Place which I colored with Copics, pencils and Stickles.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up. The itsy-bitty pine cone is from Judith. The label is actually a flag die and sorry I cannot tell you what company. The paper and embellishments are both from K&Company.

Merry Christmas! 

Holiday Door

This was really hard to color. I just couldn't seem to get the browns right. To top it off one of my brown Copics went dry. I contemplated making a red door, but I don't think I could pull it off with all that detail. 

The door is from The Stampin Place and the sentiment is from Stampendous. The paper is from The Paper Studio and I used another of the same to do the inside. 

 

Now I will go decorate the tree.  

Maple Leaf

This was made forSimply Less is Moore Challenge week-41-one-layer-leaves. I hope they will accept just one leaf.

I am pretty sure this stamp is from The Stampin Place. I bought it unmounted several years ago. I cut my card with a Spellbinder die, and traced a smaller die and colored it in keeping with the one-layer theme. The leaf was also colored with Copics and I added a little Stickles.
