I told Tammy that I loved her colors for the Color Throwdown #61 this week SO MUCH, that I wanted to do another card---and this time, I incorporated Mercy's Sketch 40 into my card. Here is the sketch:
and this time, I used one of the sponsor's stamps, a Carolyn King set called Whimsical Autumn; she designed this set last year and the proceeds went to the Alzheimer's Association. I also pulled out some retired bits of DP that I always think I'll use, and I actually used them! Here ya go:
Since I was still in that watercoloring mood, I pulled out my Watercolor Crayons....they give a different effect, especially on Kraft paper, but I liked the rustic feel they gave to the design. I added a couple leaves as accents, along with a corduroy brad, and I was done! This will make a nice thank you, thinking of you, or even a birthday card! Thanks for looking today!
Love how you've used Mercy's sketch, especially with the feeling of a pull tag. SO cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute, LeAnne!! Love that apple basket and your DP is perfect!
