Autumn is Coming!

Autumn is almost here!  Hooray!  I can feel it in the air.  And that means I feel like putting in my Christmas music--maybe just one CD to begin with.  

I created this autumn card for my big brother, Leo.  Of course this stamp of the man on the bicycle from flonzcraft.com made me think of him immediately, so I had to have it.  

I set if off with this favorite tree from Penny Black and a couple of leaves from Inkadinkado.  For the multicolored leaves on the tree and ground, I used a pencil eraser to make dots of green,ochre, orange and red.

I'm entering this in the Vintage Stamping Challenge  http://www.flonzcraft.com/vsc/

Come back soon!

for a Sister

It's been just over a year since I first discovered Flonz stamps.  I had to have them right away!  I particularly love this little girl.

I stamped her on a scrap of stone-colored paper from an unknown pad.  (The cover was torn off when I found it on mark down at the store!)  I layered this over a printed piece of olive green from the Vintage Charm stack from My Mind's Eye.  Tied the two with a piece of gold organza ribbon before gluing to the card base.  Then I decided to add three pink gemstones--one as a flower center; the other two are kind of randomly placed.  

I'm applying for the Design Team at the Vintage Stamping Challenge.  Wish me luck!
