This week's challenge is about the seasons. I chose Autumn as my favorite season. The colors, the cool nip in the air, football season, harvesting the bounty from the land, are some of the things that make it special. It is also the time of the year we are reminded to give thanks for all our blessings. This card was made for a friend from SCS. The best part about this card....I hand delivered it to GailNM in Iowa this week. There is nothing better than a hug from a friend. There was another added bonus..the meeting of Sherri aka Sherrird. The two of them made the trip so fun. I computer generated the sentiment, and embossed it with gold eb powder. The paper has a glossy finish, which enabled it to be embossed. Watercolored the pumpkins, and fussy cut them. Die cut the memory box branch three times, and using versamarker and gold embossing power to emboss them. Adhered the image and dies. Thanks for looking, and hope you can play along in the challenge.

Stunning Linda - autumn/fall is my favourite season as well. I love the cooler temperatures, but most of all the beauty of the leaves changing colours and the variations ... stunning is all I can say. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

Oh, Linda, I heard you all have a wonderful time together, and I only wish I could have been there too! Wow, what fun! And what a gorgeous card. You continue to make me drool over your watercoloring, and one day -- hehe -- I'm going to try it again. I so admire your artwork, and you continue to inspire and delight! And I've really enjoyed getting to know Gail myself through SCS, and she's a sweetheart and very talented too. Hugs, my friend!
