Falling Leaves

We have another Try It Out Tuesday going on only it's on a Friday! Thank God for Fridays! Suzanne, our ever talented Design Team Leader over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, challenged us to create a Fall or Halloween project using one of the stamps from our new release.

One of my favorite seasons is fall and one of my favorite illustrators is Elisabeth Bell. My favorite holiday is Christmas so when I say this adorable ornament from the Special Edition Ornament Collection for Susana's Custom Art and Card Design designed by Elisabeth, all sorts of ideas popped into my mind. The first was that I just adored this collection. The second was how versitile they can be. I wanted to show you one idea I had for Two Turtle Doves.

I was out walking the dogs and an idea came to mind. I could see this little darling sitting with leaves falling around her! I love the Indian Summer paper pack from BasicGrey and decided to use it along with Two Turtle Doves and a few leaf stamps I had from a Debbie Mumm Harvest stamp set. I colored her with copics and cut her out.and popped her uyp on a circle done with my nestabilities. I added some Glossy Accents to the leaves and the ribbon in her hair and some stickles to her skirt. The flower is from Petaloo and I placed a button in the middle of the ribbon and some rhinestones on the corners. My cuttlebug provided the texture for the card and I drew the leaf free hand. I just love the deep pinks and soft brown in this card.

Here she is close up and you can see the Glossy Accents on the leaves. I think she came out pretty good!

Make sure to go over to Follow Your Heart and check out my designing buddies creations. They all will have something specdial for you to see!
