Harvest Time

Happy Tuesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. I am back from San Francisco and now I am down with a cold. My daughter-in-law and son were sick and then the baby got it on Saturday.

I returned home Saturday at midnight and I started not feeling well on Sunday and by Monday-a major cold was in progress.

I guess it didn't help that I was sitting in a steady downpour on Sunday afternoon watching my grandsons play football. I was under an umbrella but it was cold and damp.

So it took everything in me to make my card for the color challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Joanne aka sleepyinseattle was our hostess this week. She chose a great fall trio of colors-mustard, tangerine and suede. We were to make a Thanksgiving card.

tangerine mustard, soft suede

I decided to use the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamp set “season of change” to stamp my leaf background in the challenge colors.

This sweet bear image is a digital image from Sweet ‘n Sassy stamps-”rhubarb’s punkins”.
I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and gamsol.

I cut Rhubarb out and then placed him on a panel where  I used the cuttlebug "pumpkin harvest" embossing folder. The panels were cut with a spellbinders rectangle die.

Across the center of my card I used vanilla twill ribbon and layered soft suede ribbon over that. I added a more mustard button to the center of my bow.

My harvest time greeting is something I found in my stash last week. It’s from Me &My Big Ideas-their “soft spoken” embellishments. I loved the sewing on the fabric panel.

Well that's it for this blog post. My head is congested so I just want to go and rest. So until next time........God bless

Some other challenges:

1.  The Outlawz blog is having a 1000 member party all week with challenges and prizes. The Monday challenge is "fall" and there has to be a sentiment on your card.

2.  Shopping Our Stash blog wants us to make a Thanksgiving or thank you card. My harvest time sentiment banner is something i have had in my stash for a couple of years.

3.  Stampin Sisters in Christ want us to include fruit on our card.

4.  Heartsong Inspirations Blog has an anything goes challenge.
