Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 288

It's a beautiful day here in Washington. We are having just a wonderful September. I should be outside but instead I went up to my stamp room to make some cards. I'm feeling in the Halloween mood today.  I made this card for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

I stamped up the pumpkins and played around with colors and finally settled on a Tangerine Tango circle on a black square. This is all topped on some long retired SU DSP.

I ran the tangerine piece through my Big Shot with the Linen impression plate and the black piece with the Rustic Burlap impression plate. The pumpkins are popped up on dimensionals.

Here is the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cowboy Kid

This was a fun card to make using my little Cowboy Kid.  I did it for SSSC107 and it just fell into place.

I have been hoarding my Outlaw DP but this seemed like the time to get it out and use it.  I usually clean off the edges of my paper after cutting but I left these raggedy for a more country look. I used my stamp-a-majig to get a perfect placement on the vanilla piece so that I could get the most cowboy and his horse as possible. I then colored him with markers.  I recently got some Baker's Twine and this guy is my first use of it. I really like how it adds to the card. I'm also excited that SU is adding Baker's Twine in their upcoming Summer Mini catalog. I then sponged some Sage Shadow around the edges but it's really hard to see it in the picture. Lastly I punched the border with a Martha Stewart border bunch.  I hope you like my little guy!
