CTO Challenge #86

Well, the weather is getting a little cool and windy!  I am loving it, it has been hot for so long!  I found a cute new site that has such, pretty digi images!  The site is called Pink Gem Designs.  I got a little carried away over the weekend, I will be using their digis in the upcoming months. 

This week, CTO's challenge is FALL.  Create a card, layout, project or home decor, just make sure it is FALL related.  For my card, I used a Pink Gem image.  The image was colored with Copics.  I heat embossed the background, with a $1 Michael's stamp.  The twine is from Scrappy Moms.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello:) Thanks for all the great BIRTHDAY wishes!  U all ROCK:)  I GOT MY E2 yesterday, what a great present!!!!  So, as you know I have been into the coloring of digi stamps with Crayola Colored Pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits.  Also, I have been purchasing copics since April.  I joined a copic club at the expo that was here in April.  I get 6 a month until I get 36, but I could not wait, so I paid and got them all!!!  I have been practicing, watching a lot of you tube and purchasing digis)  

So, today I have two cards for you, one is for a friend that I colored with pencils and the second is MY COPIC DEBUT!  Its not perfect but it is better than where I started back in April.  I guess a year from now, I will look at it and laugh!  Thanks for stopping by and your encouragement!!!
