Here are my last 2 cards for the
OWH Stars and Stamps VCMP. I didn't get to play along with 2 of the challenges because I didn't have the required supplies. This card is for
challenge #7 where Marilyn asked us to make an autumn-themed card using an OWH sketch. I chose sketch#123, one of my favorite all-time go-to sketches and made a thankful for you card. The papers are remnants of an older Autumn paper pad, and I added some argyle embossing along with a SNSS sentiment. The leaves were done with SB dies and sponged with lots of ranger inks, while the acorns were embossed with gold and tied up with some copper cording.
Here's my card for the final
challenge #9, which is to use the negative portion of a punch or die on your card. I die cut this tree, and inserted a piece of brown card stock beneath the leftover negative, and then added some leaves with a $1 G-Studio stamp set in autumn colors. The sentiment is from SU!, and the dsp is from the Autumn Spice paper pack by Lilybeedesigns. The green cardstock base was from my stash along with the snippet of ribbon.
Sorry for the bad photos - it's been raining here all day and there's no natural light available! Click the photos to make larger and they may give you a better view?
This is my 2nd post today, so thanks for coming back, and I hope you're having a wonderful Monday!

Both of your cards are great but the autumn themed card for challenge #7 is my fav. Love the leaves & acorns and the way you colored them. The embossed strip is perfect.
Fall has arrived here on your post. Love your pretty cards. The sponging looks super on your leaves (first card) and the negative tree leaves are really standing out on the second one.
Hope you're having a fun and restful day.
Oops, I see it is the tree trunk that is the negative and the pretty leaves are stamped. My bad! :-)
Hope y'all don't have any storms up that way!
Love both of these with the gorgeous Fall colors! LOVELY!

Two gorgeous Fall cards! Love the cluster of leaves with the acorn on the first and the sweet colored leaves on the second.
Two nice cards! Did you know you were featured on the Cards In Envy? Also can you send rain my way..we really need some! Thanks!
It looks like you had a good time playing along in the VCMP this weekend Carol and you have a lot of great cards to show for it! I love the cluster of leaves and acorns on your fall card. Such beautiful detail and perfect embellishment for the card.
Oh your cards are lovely!Love the negative one, u nailed it! I had a hard time with it - loved lookin' ; ) ~Lo
What wonderful cards! I just love the tree as a negative. And all your colorful leaves really make it cheerful! Thanks for playing along with my challenge. I so enjoyed checking out your cards!
I'm ready for fall and seeing your cards motivate me to go dig out some fall images to use on some cards. They both are beautiful!
Pretty Autumn cards! I really like the technique you did with the tree...must give that a try. So you had rain! We didn't...but it was hot and humid the first few days of our vacation.
Beautiful Beautiful Miss Carole!! Love your Lovely Autumn cards! My Favorite time of year too! Wish it would hurry up and get here already, lol ;-)
