First Thanksgiving Card for the Year

I found a great sketch challenge to make this card, but unfortunately it closed yesterday before I could finish this and get it posted. I used a Class Act Inc. stamp to create this card. I colored the image with Copics, and matted it on some Chocolate Chip card stock, then used a snippet of gold that I'd cut off a previous project that was embossed with a Darice leaves ef. The sentiment is by SU! done on a snippet of Pumpkin card and it's all on an Artichoke card base. I added a few dew drop gems along with 2 snippets of neutral and chocolate twine and called this one done.

This is heading to the following challenges:

House of Cards October challenge - Autumn Flowers and/or Colors

The Snippets Playground #336 - anything goes/must use snippets

Double D Challenge - Scare'n Up Some Pumpkins (Scarecrows and/or Pumpkins)

Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a wonderful early Autumn weekend!

Birthday Cards

Today I have a couple birthday cards using the Tim Holtz Crazy dog and cat images. First up is the dog with balloons tied onto his tail with twine and I hand-drew the strings from the balloons. I used a Melon Mambo cardbase with punched balloons in Melon Mambo, chocolate, lemon-lime, and medium blue, accenting with a white gel pen. The dog was colored with Copics, and I added glossy accents to his tongue and eyelids. The TH accessories hat was colored with Copics, then heat-embossed with clear detail ep, fussy cut, and placed on his head. The bone was done with a $1 stamp set from Michaels, while the sentiment is TE. I hand-drew the floor to ground this pup, using Copics in shades of pale green, tan and blue. Pink Nuvo drops were the finishing touch for this card.

 Here's the cat with a Tim Holtz stamped sentiment and a package stamped and colored, then fussy cut and placed upon the hand-drawn/colored floor. I used some SU! white/silver twine to tie the balloons on his tail and accented the eyes and nose with glossy accents. For this one, I added some aqua Nuvo drops.

I'm entering these into the following challenges:

House of Cards September challenge - Birthday theme and/or these colors:
