Happy Fall Y'all!


 My favorite Sweet 'n Sassy Cocoa mouse is back again with a colorful autumn leaf to wish everyone a happy fall! I colored the image with Copics and used Wink of Stella for some subtle shimmer. The frame was done with a Gina Marie Designs die in orange, and the background was done with a Darice embossing folder. The sentiment is a companion to the image, die-cut with a MFT stitched circle and backed with a punched scalloped black border. I added 3 orange gemstones just for fun and a little sparkle. Gosh, fall is about to turn into winter as our clocks go back this weekend and ole man winter slowly awakes from his sleep! Time flies!



Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all enjoy a great day!

Carol

This card is so sweet, Carol! I just found in my stash this same stamp set and last year I purchased that beautiful EF at the stamp show! I love it! You did an amazing job coloring that beautiful leaf! I really do hope our Fall weather lasts a few more weeks before Old Man Winter wakes up!

This is so cute, Carol. The leaf is beautiful and that fun mouse is adorable. Yes, winter is right around the corner and I'm not happy to see it come. It is already dark and dreary here and so chilly.

Cocoa... he's back in all his Autumnal goodness. I like the embossed panel very much and is great as a backdrop to the image. My naughty sense of humour imagines Cocoa to be naked and hiding his modesty behind that pretty coloured leaf lol. Adorable Fall card x

Awe! Yes! I love Cocoa and he's so adorable with that colorful Fall leaf you've made there! The frame and the beautiful embossed background is perfect with him! Love the way you've added that circle sentiment with him as well! I do love Autumn season as it goes by way too fast! HUGS

Your tiny cocoa mouse always makes me smile! :D He looks great peeking out the colourful fall leaf! Love the effect of the white embossed panel, it gives a classy feel to the card! And the three gems are a lovely touch!
Big hugs across the miles my friend, I always think to you too in this crazy time! Take care and resist!

Awww, this is just the cutest fall card Carol!!! I love Cocoa Mouse, he is just so adorable. Love how you colored him and the fall leaf. You have framed him out perfectly too with that scallop frame. I really am loving that embossing folder too! I will have to look for that one, it is so pretty! For all that 2020 has been, the year really has flown by so fast! I can't believe we will be going into Nov! So not ready to fall back with the time, but once I get used to the early night, I will snuggle right down and just enjoy staying in the warmth. lol Hugs, Brenda
