Autumn Greetings Card

I have done another card for the Pink and Main Autumn Challenge.  I used their new Fall Bouquets clear stamp set.  Now here is the tricky part, I also wanted to join the Stamping Sensations challenge.  It is a color challenge (see photo below) and the colors are non-traditional fall colors.  So I tried to do a fall card with a "different" color scheme.  Is there a law that says pink can't be used for an autumn card?  I hope not because I used it. (Wink.)  My different colored fall card is going to be linking up to these challenges:

Sketch Saturday Gratitude Card

Today's card is one I did for the Sketch Saturday design team.  The sponsor this week is Fred She Said Designs.  The image I used is Pumpkins and Sunflowers and can be found here.  I colored the image with alcohol markers.  The sentiment is a rub-on.  If you have not tried one of the sketches at Sketch Saturday, you really should.  They are a tremendous help at creating a card faster (and I should also mention fun).  This card is grateful to join the following challenges:

Caution: Coffee Card

I was straightening up my craft room and found this Newton's Nook stamp set which I got recently.  To tell the truth I had forgotten about it and it had a coffee theme.  I was aggravated at myself for not using it during the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I looked to see how much time was left and had a pleasant surprise....I still had time to get a card made with it and uploaded to the blog hop!  Yay!  So this is definitely my last one for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (sniff, sniff....trying not to be sad.....wink).  My prickly cactus is also going to be joining:

Scarecrow Coffee Card

We are down to the final hours of the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and I was determined to get one more card made!!!  I came in from my morning walk (got to get those 10,000 steps a day) and headed to my craft room.  My scarecrow coffee card is the result.  I like the way he turned out...I think I may work better "under pressure."  (Wink.)  I'm sad to see the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop end.  It has been such fun getting crafty with my coffee stamps and coming up with ideas.  But as Scarlet O'Hara says "tomorrow is another day" and we will have the spring one to look forward to.  My scarecrow will also be scaring up some fun at the following challenges:

Mummy Needs Coffee Card

Sharing another card for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and I had so much fun making this one.  I inked the background with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink pads and then sprayed lightly with water.  I used stamps, diecuts, inks, embellishments, and paints on this one...you know all the "good stuff."  The hop ends tomorrow so if you haven't gotten inky this week making a coffee card you need to get busy!  Get to work (or I should say "get to fun.")!  (Wink!)   My caffeine addicted mummy is also joining the Marker Pop Halloween challenge plus the C.R.A.F.T. challenge calling for Autumn/Halloween/Thanksgiving.
