November 2015 Inspiration Challenge #37



Hello Crafty Friends,
Here today with inspiration for the Paper Sweeties November Challenge!  Here is the inspiration photo:


Oh the beautiful colors of Autumn!  The crisp air, the leaves turning, and the lovely smell of pumpkin EVERYTHING!!!!!  Yay!!!!!!

The Paper Sweeties challenge is open the entire month of November and one winner will receive a $20.00 Gift Certificate to the Paper Sweeties store and a chance to Guest Design.  How great is that!

I was lacking a little bit of mojo after being up with my sick kiddo for a few nights in a row so I decided to head to my secret mojo igniter....Pinterest of course....for a sketch!!!!  I just type in "Card Sketches" and pick the first one that appeals to me.  The one I chose to use is:

Freshly Made Sketches is a wonderful sketch challenge blog and they always have tons of inspiring sketches to use to kickstart some creative time.  Just looking at their blog full of creative inspiration can get you salivating to create!!!!  Seriously!!!!  What could be better!

Anyway....

Here is the card I came up with....it was such a great sketch that I ended up making two of the same card as shown in the photo at the top of this post...

 Here is a close up view of our sweet Sophie doll all dressed for Autumn in her poncho!  Her outfit and the sentiment are from the stamp set "The Splendor of Autumn".  I added some white gel pen details to her poncho and shoes and hairbow for additional interest.  A few wooden buttons and some solid orange twine finish of this card....the second card has green twine.  Both of the cards were also embossed to add lots of background texture to the cards.
Now I get to send you off to continue hopping and hope you will visit all of the rest of the wonderful Paper Sweeties Designers:
