What a great sketch today Roxie! Thanks!....I thought all night about what I was going to do for this SC, and this is nothing close to what I first had in mind. I think this idea turned out a lot better. So, here are the details....
Before I left for work, I made my bg dp. The top panel was made by dry brushing different colors of acrylic paints on white cs. Then I sponged meadow on the edges. For the bottom, I painted white cs with forest green acrylic paint, let it dry, sponged edges with meadow and ran through the cb using a fiskar grass texture plate. Put these panels on a white card that I sponged with ginger and pumpkin pie.
For my main panel, I stamped my image with versa mark and eb with detail black. Colored it with acrylic paints. All day long I kept looking at the leaves that were turning colors in the trees. Hopefully, I captured those colors here. I then went around my image with a blue marker. Also added the dots to tone down the white area.
Sponged the edges with meadow, then doodled them. Layered this on top of white cs that I sponged the edges with ginger and pumpkin pie. Popped this up on top of my bg. Tied another bow, that's right, I did it again. Second bow this week, I think! This may sound funny to some, but I am so ribbon challenges that it isn't funny! So, for me to use ribbon twice in one week is a challenge in its self! I know I have said this before, but it is so true!!! LOL
So, after a lot of thought all day while working, here is my card.........had a blast coloring it!.....TFL :0)

Nutmeg, is this not the coolest card in the gallery? Yikes, girl, every day you have no shame with these creations you make! Day after day, card after card, there's just no limit to what you can do over in Citrus Heights! Day and day, I sit and think about how I could become you to no avail. I just sit and think and think and sit, and still there's not even a glimpse of nutmeg in anything I put together. Fabulous card. You've got yourself quite the following, my friend! WhaHoo.
