Anyways the first card is for A Spoonful of Sugar ~ and the theme is Fall into Autumn. (The sketch is from the WOJ challenge a couple weeks ago!! I also masked and stamped three images which was the challenge at Sukkersott a couple weeks ago as well!! LOL I am just happy I finally finished it!)
The punch is from Martha Stewart and the leaves are from the cuttlebug. I went over them with Fired Brick and Vintage Photo distress crackle paint. The little leaves on my image are leftover from the punch.
I also want to submit it for the GDT at Whiff of Joy! You have until the 19th I believe to enter your cards. The paper is from MME and it is actually Christmas paper but I thought it was nice for Autumn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My next card is for the challenge over at Just Magnolia and they want to see embossing. I used a Halloween Cuttlebug folder, punched out some designs and then sanded them down. I also used the sketch provided by Sketch Saturday.
Since the orange distress inks are too bright for this MME paper I decided to play around to get one closer in color. I mixed 1 drop of Walnut stain and 4 or 5 drops of Spiced Marmalade and I think it got pretty close. I love that I got to get some distressing in here ~ Halloween is perfect for the dark distressing I think! Sentiment is PTI and the flowers are the new Primas ~ Country Elegance.Well thanks so much for stopping by and for sticking with me for my longer post! I know I had to post both cards now or the challenges would be over and I would miss them again! LOL
We have a very busy day today starting with a funeral and ending with Teacher's conferences!! Already ~ I cannot believe it!
I hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks so much for all your lovely comments!!

Very clever stuff Kathy and such gorgeous cards! I really love the way you've even used the leftover leaves from your MS border punch on the WOJ card and then such a fab idea to cut out sections of your embossed folder for the Magnolia card...... now why can't I think outside the box like that, lol?!

Hi Kathy
these are both lovely, so much effort and detail.
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog, the oval/square mat is a Quickutz cookie cutter die set - a bit like nestabilities, work just the same, look similar and go through the cuttlebug or whatever too. In sale at Crafts U love I think
