I hope yesterday's post has softened the blow into today's project after all that went on in October. Today I go totally through 360 degrees and more from the normal you will have come to expect from me. All in a day's work and all that. Maybe (cough) I ought to (cough) do more like (cough) these? (cough, cough). Sorry something's tickling the back of my throat. Something furry? I jest, of course.
I made a card..... fit for any little lady or even a big one. I need a stamp that says "Happy Whatever" because although I know who is going to receive this card for her birthday, it could so easily be for another occasion.
In-keeping with the image theme of autumn/harvest I chose to cover a piece of brown card with real skeleton leaves coloured gold. There is a panel of endless vine embossed dark orange cordinations under a panel of plain blue vellum and another diecut of card in a different shade of orange. Orange ribbon edged with gold threaded through for a bit of sparkle. More die-cuts, this time from copper card, those swirly vine type shapes. Then flowers, lots of flowers from WOC. Every girl needs some flowers from time to time.
All this was matted onto more of that blue vellum before adhering to the card base.
Well that's about it from me folks. Don't forget to check out the Sparkle and Glitter challenge and the other EDT makes.

Her name is Priscilla Pilgrim. Isn't she cute? She's the image that was in the newsletter that Rick St Dennis sends out monthly. Only those canny enough to have signed up previously will have received her. All is not lost however, there's always next month. For all the info, head on over to Rick's blog and read/signup.
The monthly challenge starts today. For this, Priscilla has to be used. If you want to enter to be in with a chance of winning more images and need the image she can be bought from Rick's shop.
I have used primarily promarkers to colour. The exception is her fur and tail. I'm loving these pink/grey graph-it markers for this bit.

So sweet and beautifully colored! Did you make those tiny pumpkins, too? You are so damned talented, and a constant creator. I don't know how you keep so well stocked with mojo and energy. I'd could use a bit of both right now.
