I loved Diane's hand-stamped tartan plaid over at Double D Fall Plaid challenge, so I set out to create another using my PTI Watercolor Plaid builder stencil set. THEN I heard the call of my favorite Norseman ... I even managed to give him a touch of the Scotsman...
After coloring him with Copics, I added the plaid using Prismacolor pencils!
That big ol' Fall is also from PTI - but you might see that I've added a little more detail to my PTI plaid? I used a very old EH Plaid Maker stamp set. It was a little busy, so I cut my panel into a frame using a MFT Elegant Rectangle die - also to create the 'barrel*' he's perched upon! The leaves? negatives from the sentiment with a little simple veining with my pencils.
Here are the inks I've used over a pale grey cardstock...
Okay, off he goes to the Double D Fall Plaids challenge! I hope they love him as much as I do!

*That 'barrel' was embossed with a CTMH Wood slats embossing folder - a gift from a friend!

Oh dear, I turn my back for 5minutes and I miss a whole load of loveliness on your blog. I am loving all the plaid and those tangerine and violet cards. Just perfect. I have been in Liverpool for a few days on my annual trip with my sisters. I had never been to Liverpool before and I was very impressed. We had perfect weather too xx
Oh my, so much FUN my friend! He does indeed look happy in his plaid!
This fella always makes me smile! He looks just dapper surrounded with all of the fall yumminess!
fabulous fall card...
This is brilliant, Michele! I love all your plaid cards, and see that I've missed a few.

This is all kinds of wonderful, Michele!
Your Norse viking would not be happy if I called him cute, so I'll just say he's quite handsome with that plaid background and big bold sentiment!
Hold me back, this is just way TOO much FUN! I love the plaid you created with such rich colors, and I believe your Norse guy feels pretty comfortable there, too. You've got the perfect barrell, big beautiful sentiment, a few leaves... so great! Glad I get to see you again at Double D!
I'm always impressed with this Viking, Michele. He is awesome colored in these fall colors with the plaid background!
Adorable! Love him and his coat of many colors, plus that very fun plaid background!
Your plaid is fab, Michele. I wish I'd brought my plaid stamp with me. I think I may have inadvertently given my Norse man away. I love how you gave him a plaid shirt.
I've had that norseman stamp for years and still haven't inked him up! Not sure what I'm waiting for, but you sure have provided a ton of inspiration for him Michele...he's FABULOUS!! And I love, LOVE your plaid!! Awesome card my friend!! Hugs. 😊
This makes me smile! I love your little Viking and the plaid is fantastic! I love PTI...
Wow! So much attention to detail with this card Michele! Love your handmade plaid, fun fall colors! Love that you gave your guy a touch of Scotsman, you have colored him up so well, love the plaid using your Prima pencils! Everything about this card is fun! Hugs, Brenda
Good to see the big guy making an appearance! He always steals true show! Beautifully done for fall!
