SSCB#36 - Fall Challenge

Hi and thanks for stopping by!  Can you believe it's Wednesday already?  I think it must be the kids being off school for Fall break... there's lots of activity in the house and I don't feel like I'm getting much done.   DH is having a card party on Friday.  I'll be cooking for the boys so I've been busy shopping.  With the driveway still "under construction" it's a job unloading the car.  I'm going to leave the heavy lifting of the "beverages" to him.  The guys take turns going to a different home for every game so I don't have to do this too often.

We are at the half way point of the latest Serendipity Stamps Challenge.  We start a new challenge on the first Wednesday of every month.  On the third Wednesday of the month we show more cards and give you a gentle reminder that there is still time to play.   The challenge this month is FALL,   It's a good time to play - and you might just win a $20 gift code off your next order.  Everyone is a winner because the sale this week is “Buy 3, Get the 4th Free”   good through Oct 22nd.

 The "Boo!" die is part of the latest release.  I colored up the image of Kitty and Jack with Copic markers.  I actually tried it two different ways - one in watercolor and one with Copic.  The watercolor was nice and bold,but the blending just didn't look right to me - so I went with this one. 

I have a little Fall tag for you today too.  I stamped a light orange paper with the pretty Wood Background stamp in a darker orange ink. and then cut out the Oak Leaf Scroll Die.  I cut a second tag in aqua blue and then glued the two tags together.  Last I inlaid the pretty die cut leaf.   

The design team all made Halloween cards for this challenge.  I hope it puts you in the mood to celebrate!  And our special guest this month is  Julia Stainton!!
