Happy Friday and it's raining in Tulsa, OK. Thanks to the heavens. This is a remnant of Isaac, but it is blessed in this part of the country. With that said, please keep everyone in our thoughts and prayers that have been affected by Isaac. I wish everyone a speedy recovery from all the flooding!
It’s my turn over at Whimsical Ink Sorority to share a project that I created. Before I get into my project, I wanted to let everyone know that Queen Kat Designs is have a “5 Labor Day Sale.” Queen Kat’s rubber stamps are all 30% off, 15% off cross stitch patterns, and 15% off fabric blocks. These are amazing prices. This “5 Day Labor Day” sale started yesterday and will end on Sept. 3. You need to hurry!
Today I would like to introduce you to Autumn, one of the newest rubber stamps from Queen Kat Designs and designed by Myka Jelina. Look at Autumn’s pocket pal. Isn’t that the cutest? Do you all remember pocket pals? I don’t know if they are still around or not, but I do remember my Daughter enjoying them.
First I need a sketch. The one I decided to use was created by Verve Stamps. This one is from their May 2011 challenge. If you need some fantastic sketchs, Verve at Splitcoast Stampers is the place to find them.

I have colored Autumn with Copics and Spica pens, used a Spellbinder’s rectangle die, and added Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap to the edges. She was then layered on Mellow Moss cardstock.
After completing all my coloring now I needed to start on the actual card layout. The designer paper is from My Mind’s Eye, but I do not know what collection. I trimmed the designer paper to fit the 4¾” square card. The circles under Autumn are Spellbinder’s classic circles. After everything was attached to the card, I added lace and pearls from my stash. I felt like she need more swirls, so I die cut the Elegant Scrollwork from Memory Box. Now everything is ready to add Autumn. Not your typical Autumn colors, but I love these two colors, turquoise and green, together. I am beginning to wonder what color clashes with turquoise. I haven’t found one yet.
Autumn is for another online site, Crafting by Designs. One of our challenges for this last week in August is "Anything Goes." Autumn fits perfectly! I hope you all come join us! We have some wonderful sponsors, too!
