Mornin' y'all. Apparently our house was the chosen spot for a bird of prey to eat a late-night snack last night; we kept hearing noises from the chimney (we have a fireplace in our bedroom) and there's a lot of feathers in the yard this morning. Between that and Daphne getting me up twice last night to go outside, I didn't sleep too much...but Ryan has STEM club after school today so maybe I have time for a nap!
It is supposed to get up to 81 degrees today which is just unsatisfactory for September and I am manifesting fall as hard as my little autumnal goblin heart will go. And I finally busted out my Rustic Centerpieces stamp set, take a look:
The three images in Rustic Centerpieces are LORGE so I hope this still counts as a CAS card to enter at CAS on Fridays. I thought it would lean more towards CAS if I stamped the outline image and didn't color it in at all, and I just added a simple greeting. Plus that made it super fast to make two cards.
I was inspired by the Four Seasons Challenge which is new to me but LOOK HOW GORGEOUS:
I saw someone else link to this challenge but thanks to sleep deprivation I don't remember who it was and none of the cards in the gallery is jogging my memory either. I must need more tea.
Anyway, I wasn't ready to be done with that beautiful inspiration challenge yet so I made a third card:
I finally cut into my Autumn Toile DSP and I love those foxes! The stripes on the edge are the reverse of the fox pattern. I slightly edited the Sunday Stamps Challenge sketch:
I didn't want to cover up the foxes so I switched the directions for the greenery behind my sentiment circle. I used last year's Autumn Expressions because I love it and it has several extra-large greeting stamps that would be perfect for a sketch like this.
Daphne is pestering me to take her for a walk and who am I to tell her no? Cheers, y'all!
