Sleigh Sketch

Sorry, yesterday we were off to another Doctor appointment. By the time we got home I had a major headache and went straight to bed. So I thought I would combine yesterday's Color Challenge with today's Sketch Challenge. As you can tell I just got this set so it is being used a lot lately. I have yet to color in the whole picture so I decided that was what I was going to do today. I started with the colors from the color challenge and used them as much as possible. I used the aquapens and re-inkers to color. I used Ruby Red on the bricks. I just diluted it to begin with and then went full strength for the accent brick. I did the same for the blankets. I had meant to put some crystal effects on the pond but forgot before I took the picture. I am too pressed for time to re-take so use your imagination! ;)

Fall Leaves

Today's Challenge on SCS was the Way to Use It Challenge to do a Halloween card. Since I do not have anything halloween we had the option to do a fall card. For those who know me, they know I love it hot. I wish I could still have the heat with the fall colors. I live in the woods and love just driving down my driveway watching the trees turn colors day by day. Isn't is fascinating how God placed the trees just in the right places so the colors are so enjoyable. If fall colors do not show our Great Creator I do not know what does. What if He would of placed all the yellow tress together...not so pretty! The leaves are curled up on the card. I wanted to do the Polished Stone Technique again. This card seems to be missing something (Maybe the sanded background, LOL!). Have a great day and stamp something today!!
