Love this color combo! I was a little rushed today, trying to get too many things done in a short amount of time. So hopefully this isn't too much of a disaster!.....details....
Only in Sacramento could you make a snowman out of leaves! Believe me, there is no shortage of leaves in this town!!! I have already started netting bags full from the swimming pools where they love to fall! Oh well, I guess you would call that "job security"! I'll be making my yearly visit to the chiropractor real soon! LOL
I drew this snowman, with a scarf and hat, no eyes! Stamped the leaves with the three colors for today's CC. Colored them in with re-inkers and then traced over with a pen.
Stamped the leafless tree then added a few leaves to it, coloring the same way. Added the small hill and sponged the clouds using only the chocolate chip and pink.
Popped up the sentiment. Sponged edges on main panel with the three colors, the next panel was sponged with only chocolate chip. This was all put on a kiwi kiss card that I doodled the edges on.
Love reading all your wonderful comments! Hope you like this one!.........TFL :0)

Let's see: I'm from Roseville and you're from Citrus heights; I dont ever remember snowmen made out of leaves. They must gravitate to your pool keepers. You gotta get the pools where the wind blows east to west; it's those darn delta breezes will get you everytime - that's why you can only contract with pools in the east/west nonwind area. Now, what esle can I help you with today? BTW, super card, as sweet as they come, girl! Love your drawing and colors. Looks like there was a dark sky in Sacramento today!

Super fun card! More incredible drawing, too! Love how you colored the sky! The leaf snowman is too funny, and of course, each leaf is perfect! Very creative indeed! Love it!

HAHAHA this is sooooo fun and unique...you REALLY executed this design to perfection...if I tried this it would look like leaves with a hat on and people would say, huh?! Only YOU could think of this idea though...I don't even think I would have gotten that far, hee! This goes into my original card hall of fame in my faves...it is a very DISTINGUISHED honor!
