For our challenge this week we are sending cads to Rex who likes the outdoors. We're doing a word play using the word SMILE:
S-stamp, stencil, M-mounting squares, I-ink, L-leaves, E-embossing
I stamped this outdoor scene which is a photo stamp using stazon ink and then I sponged some DO colors over it to make it look Fall-ish. The bg is stenciled leaves, also in Fall colors. I added some die cut leaves in brown and orange and embossed the edges in copper.

What a wonderful masculine card, Polly. I love that tall panel, and the natural bg is fab. A winner!

Oh my goodness Polly. I was sure that was a real photo! What an amazing job you did of colouring that image. I love it! I may borrow that design for some of my photo cards. Pinned!

That photo stamp is beautiful, but the way you have added those luscious Fall colors take it to spectacular. I thought it was a photo at first glance. Love the stenciling and added fall foliage. Awesome card.
