AYSI359 You Make Me Smile

 Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you have something fun planned for the weekend!  It's recipe time at As You See It, and we have some fun "ingredients" for you to play with!  Here we go:


I remembered this fun Impression Obsession image I got a couple of years ago and thought it would work well for the challenge:


I stamped the image on some thick Basic White cardstock using Stazon ink, diecut it with the retired Ornate Frames dies, then watercolored everything in with reinkers:


I did use some shades of green, as one of the elements was flowers, so hopefully that was okay!  My sentiment is from Timeless Arrangements, and I made a frame with two different-sized banner dies.  The background paper is from an Echo Park Spooky Halloween pad!  I love those little swirly designs!

Hope you'll cook up something fun with our recipe this week and share it with us at As You See It!  Can't wait to see what you create!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

You know, I think my late sister-in-law bought this IO image at a stamp convention. She would have loved your pretty autumn card, LeAnne, I sure do!

Your card most definitely made me smile LeAnne - that little autumnal collection of pumpkins and flowers is just lovely! The frame detail on the banner is very clever too. Gorgoeus!
