We had no major damage but several losses of power and internet since Irene hit. I therefore am behind and need to combine some challenges. This card is for SC348 and WT338, to use paint. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo black on watercolor paper then colored with Copics and matted with Summer Sun CS. Ran Sage Shadow CS through TH EF after inking the positive side, debossing the image. Added some Summer Sun hand cut leaves and sponged the edges with Distress Wild Honey ink. Cut the Sizzix originals pumpkin from Summer Sun then sponged with Memento Cantaloupe and Only Orange inks. Ran a thin piece of raffia around the Sage CS strip to mimic a pumpkin vine. Applied Sunset Orange and Espresso Adirondack dauber paints on Print Pattern and stamped on Creamy Caramel CS. Applied all to a Soft Sky card and done. PT - 1
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

I'm glad that you weren't damaged by the storm. It sounds like it can be pretty scary. The card you created is really neat. I love the fall colors, how you painted, and the raffia you used. Lovely!!

Marie, I'm happy to hear that your family is safe and you sustained no damage. Power outages are trying tho'.
What a wonderful card to combine challenges. I love your little farm scene colored in these bright colors. The twrly=whirly twine accent is so creative and fun. Love the bg panels you created as well. Terrific card!

Marzie, thank God you did not have any major damage. Power outages are nothing compared w/ the alternative.
That said, I love your card. The tree is cute and the image is so well colored.
