Celebrate Fall!

Happy Friday!  I am a happy girl today - my hubby is home after being away for 2.5 weeks.  Jeremy's great-uncle and aunt from Pennsylvania are visiting gram this weekend, so we're going over for a visit this afternoon with the kids.  Other than that, I have a very quiet weekend planned.  I've been busy with my TGF (The Greeting Farm) stamps and digi images lately, they are just so much fun to color.  First up today I have a card that I'm entering into the:
Anyone for Anya - September Color Challenge


and 
Sketch Saturday Challenge #172

 I printed out Miss Anya Autumn digi image really big and colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  I cut her out just around where her hair ends and kept the white square background (rather than fussy-cutting her) to maintain that splash of white.  I used cardstock, DP, and brads from SU!  This card is about 7x5.5, bigger than my usual cards.  I love this image and these colors are so perfect for her, aren't they?


Next up is my card for the:

Greeting Farm Mystery Monday

and

CES Challenges - Make it Magical (or Spooky)
and

Really Reasonable Ribbon #42 - Autumn
and

I used another TGF digi image, this one is called Autumn Fairy.  I took a piece of glossy cardstock from SU! and my brayer, rolled it through a Pumpkin Patch Spectrum ink pad and then down the glossy cardstock.  I used this for my background and to paper-piece the fairy's clothes, I also used it for the background punch that I mounted the sentiment to.  Ribbon and glitter are from SU!  Sentiment is from The Angel Company, gemstone stickers are from my stash.

Hope you have a great weekend!  Peace.
