Mercy's Tuesday Sketch

DSCF4840

I have been seeing several cards made with Mercy's Sketch Challenge #33:

MTSC33

and thought I would play along too.  I am trying to make samples of my new SU sets, and although this set it not new, the DP is the new Autumn Traditions:

DSCF4841

I deviated a tiny little bit from the sketch; I wish I had made it a larger card, but as it is, I think it came out pretty well.  Lovely as a Tree and All Holidays are the sets I used; the cut-out leaf images are from Autumn Days.  Ribbon is some from my stash.  I used daubers to color in the tree, which is stamped in Basic Brown.

Thanks for visiting today; we are relaxing, going to some yard sales and catching up on all my commenting on my blogs!!!!  So many posts and not enough time in the day.  And MAYBE I'll get to stamp too!

I do not see how you have time to do anything other than make cards. Maybe you're super fast, or super organized, or super WOMAN.

I'm loving all your autumn cards...well all your cards actually! I haven't used my daubers in awhile so perhaps you have inspired me. Happy yard saling!

Lovely! Just Lovely! How you manage to get so many cards made with all the other things you're busy with is a mystery. You (and your cards) are amazing.

I love this card and the sea shore card. When you used your daubers were you using chalk? That tree is beautiful. I hope you found a real treasure at the garage sales.
