Lots of love all around with PINK and RED!

The second image from Penny Black's Endearment set seemed just the ticket for several challenges that are asking for pink and red - 'tis the season for LOve after all!  

Color Hues and Inkspirational challenges have teamed up making it double the fun!

  

Here is where my heart and that PB set took those lovely colors...

It isn't Valentine's Day without bringing out my old Amy Tangerine 

Love Spun embossing folder - I just love those 'cross-stitched' hearts!

Top it off with an old MFT Stitched Heart and this darling couple -

well, it all makes me happy!

And just like that I have made this card eligible for Time Out #281!

Using THREE of their categories:

Layer, stitch, and heart!

and I've used PB so I can send this one over to my friends at

Penny Black Saturday Challenge using their option of HEARTS!

This has to be some kind of record for me to find FOUR challenges in one card!

Thanks for the honor at Inkspirational!

A few more Fall cards...

... before the Christmas Season takes over my craft studio!  and Winter takes over my world!

The EBE Birch Tree cover plate is certainly versatile for every season!  Here I've used it for Christmas... Here for Halloween.  I couldn't leave Fall, and Thanksgiving out of the mix, now could I?

It was as easy as cutting two of the panels from Neenah Dessert Storm card, and flipping one ... after sponging with the black soot, one can hardly tell the one on the right is backwards, right?

This may answer the query:

which came first... the pumpkin, or the Pilgrim?

[To amyT: they eat in the woods, too!]

Here are the inks I used to create my background.

My next card is all about that die - and a few wonderful Autumn colored card stocks:

Altenew's Wood grain Bark paper is so gorgeous - I usually keep it for special occasions - like now.  I think it's genius of EH to include the die that cuts all of those fun leaves with the trees, too... these were made colorful by cutting from a smooshed panel that I found in my stash.  My harvest moon is cut with one of the EBE Essential Circles from a PTI paper, and the card base is Oyster Grey 100# card stock.  

Before I thank you for stopping by... I feel I must share my Inkspirational inspiration for my first card...

Fun, right?  Thanks for stopping by!
