PIP challenge sept 7

Good morning PIP ers!   Welcome to another challenge! We have an awesome sponsor this week, Rachel Ann Miller. She has some awesome things available and some very cute images pop over and check her out and you could also be the winner of this weeks challenge from her.

 For my card this week I chose her cute little scarecrow…. It’s now September we can start thinking fall! 

I colored her in pencils and used a Bit of ink for a sky, blue and a little green grass stamp. Then I fancy cut her out with a die, cut and layered her on a bright yellow card stock, and then on an orange plaid card stock. Then I took snippets of black and made a little triangles to create photo corners. hope you have fun with this challenge and best of luck to everyone in the draw!

Rose sympathy

This is a repurposed card that was an anniversary card from my parent’s silver wedding anniversary. I fussy cut the red rose from the original card, laying it on a piece of vellum. I used a creamy card stock and a tiny bit of red ink around the outside edges of the card. I made it into a simple sympathy card.

Wishing you an Easter blessing

 

Was a leftover from Easter. Folded these cute tiny envelopes out of an Easter print, placed on the card fronts, tucked a tiny bunny image inside that  I’d colored with pencils which is my favorite color medium and fussy cut. Added a couple of tiny gems and sentiment to finish it all up.
