Happy Sunday, all! Stef is our Paper Players hostess this week and she has a wonderful, versatile sketch for us:
I did take a little liberty with the sketch, turning it on its side, because when I stamped my image, I didn't realize how large it was, LOL! And I bucked the circular shape (which I would normally do) and went with a rectangle! I found this cute image in my retired fall stamps and just had to give his little guy some ink:
Since my image was so large, I made a larger card--this one measures 4 1/2 x 6 1/4" I stamped some Timeless Plaid DSP with a little leafy border, then added my watercolored image:
It was stamped on Fluid 100 Watercolor paper and colored with reinkers. The "hello" is from Unbounded Love. A really old stamp was used for the inside sentiment:
as well as some little pumpkins I stamped down in the corner! Some of my old SU favorite styles!
I hope you'll find some inspiration from the DT at the Paper Players--I am sure this sketch will have you coming up with all kinds of ideas! Share them with us at the blog, we can't wait to see what you create!

Absolutely adorable, LeAnne! I remember these old sets and love how you watercolored your image! Great sketch, too!
ReplyDeleteLook at this guy go! Such a darling story your card tells, LeAnne. My thoughts are that he is either anxious to make a jack-o-lantern or hoping for pumpkin pie!

What a fun & lively card, LeAnne! And I love your green panels! A perfect fall card! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can almost feel that Autumn breeze and hear the crunch of falling leaves! A great card with the feelings of Fall, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun fall image, LeAnne! Such a happy, "smile bringing" vibe it brings! Your coloring is impeccable and brings the image to life. The stamped leafy border is the perfect touch. LOVE it! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteA fun Fall card LeAnne. The image is so cute with him pulling his wagon of pumpkins. Your coloring looks great and I love the green gingham paper.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I love that you flipped the orientation of the sketch and were able to use that absolutely darling stamp! He is so cute scampering along with his wagon full of pumpkins and your watercoloring is beautiful. And I also love the little detail of adding the leaf border stamp to the dsp. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteHe's skipping, I just know he is! What a cutie and look at that perfect load of pumpkins he has! Sweet card, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteI like that you bucked the trend and used a rectangle. The image is wonderful - he looks so full of joy in the simple things like the leaves, the fresh air and the thought of whatever he's going to do with those pumpkins. Lovely card! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun take on the sketch and I can see why you wanted to use that stamp again, so cute! Great job on the watercolors, too!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, this little guy made me smile! He is so proud of his pumpkins! Your watercoloring is fabulous! Love the plaid, the scallop die and the leaves stamped along the border! SO FUN!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I love this! Once again, you used a vintage image and made it fresh and modern. I love the colors you chose for his clothing, and you watercolored this image beautifully. I love the buffalo check with the scallops and stitching. But the fabulous finishing touch was the use of the acorn and leaves stamp!

That image of that sweet little boy, with his wagon of pumpkins trudging through the fallen leaves is just precious LeAnne - and perfect for a landscape rectangle too.
ReplyDeleteLove that little guy cheering for fall - I feel the same way - so glad to get away from the heat and humidity of summer!
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute 💐☺️ congrats
