Hello Friend!

The challenge for Stamping Vacation gives a choice of sentiment to base your card on.  I chose the sentiment "Maybe I can't stop the rain, but I'll always share my umbrella."  When I saw this digi stamp on Sliekje digi Stamps blog, I knew it was the perfect image for this challenge.  I used the sketch from Anyone for Anya, but it is not eligible for the challenge.  I also entered this card in the Anything Goes challenge for  Cowgirl's Sunday Stampen Challenge .

The card has a 6x6 base from CTMH New England Ivy cs and the patterned paper is from the CTMH Lovely Leaves paper packet.  The image is from Sliekje digi Stamps ,who is generous to share her lovely art for free, and I colored it with Sargent Art Water Pencils and blended it with baby oil.  I mounted the image on CTMH Outdoor Denim.  The sentiment is using the Inked God font and I used CTMH waxy flax for decoration.

Annabelle Stamps & Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenges

This card uses the sketch from Annabelle Stamps challenge #026 and the pumpkins are for the Fall card using the cricut and stamps with Bitten by the Bug 2. The base is 6x6 in CTMH Autumn Terracotta B&T paper, the CTMH New England Ivy cs was cut at 5.5x3. I colored the CTMH white grosgrain ribbon with the CTMH Olive sp and used pewter brads for accents. The ribbon was cut at 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5 inches.  The pumpkins are from the CTMH Heart of the Harvest acrylic stamp set.  The pumpkins were colored with Sargent Art Water Color Pencils and then I applied baby oil on a Q-tip to the color to blend it.  The word "Autumn" was cut at 6" from CTMH Autumn Terracotta cs using the Wild Card Cricut cart.  The green pearls in the corner are from Want 2 Scrap.
