To celebrate SC's 500 challenge, we were to pick a challenge from 400-499 and use it. I chose SC437 and used it to combine with several of today's DTGD14 challenges.
The card is pretty self explanatory, but I did do one thing that I don't normally do. I had a DP whose colors I liked, but I wanted it to be more "country". So I overstamped it with a gingham stamp and SU Soft Suede. I like the effect that it gave to the DP. Lots of sponging and lots of coloring. My card was inspired by Kittie747's CARD from a few years back. Loved her fall's bounty design.

Your Fall card, Sallie, is gorgeous. The tag has so many details - the image and amazing coloring, the sponging, and the braided jute. All so lovely, and your design paper is indeed "country." A wonderful Fall/Country card.

Sallie, this is so pretty. You achieved such a wonderful country charm, and I love that gingham stamp. I would never had known that was not gingham dp had you not mentioned it. Love the addition of braided jute, and I had to look many times and am still not convinced that is faux stitching :-). Again, wonderful card.

Sallie, I swear.....each card you make is touched with the magic of your creative coloring. This is breathtaking. I love that you added the gingham for an additional country feel. Thanks for mentioning my Blessings card. And I'm with Tammy.....Why aren't you already DIRTY?? No worries! You will be! Your coloring is unmatched. Big hug!
So pretty! Everything turned out to be "country" perfection! love the overstamping, hemp, and your coloring! Actually, I just love everything about it!
