Fall into Autumn/ EBTKS #23

It's a challenge day for me! :)
I'm barely under the wire for Wee Memories Fall into Autumn challenge- it ends in a couple of hours. I've been wanting to play all week, and if anyone has a suggestion on where to find a few spare hours, I'm all ears!!!


I thought I'd try to work in the EBTKS sketch too- another challenge I haven't been able to play along with for awhile! Here's the sketch:

You have until Sept 24th to play with EBTKS....
So here's my take!

PTI vintage cream card base & nesties cut focal panel. Cosmo Cricket earth love 6x6 paper. PTI through the trees stamps. Ink is SU! old olive, versafine sepia, and Dew drop brilliance rocket red gold (that's the coppery color I used in my last card & mistakenly referred to it as momento- oops! still wishing the shimmer of that ink showed in the pics, but alas, taking pics at night doesn't give you much shimmer!!) And a little PTI chai ink around the edge of the focal panel.

What do you think of that ribbon? Pretty awesome, right? It's May Art's orange leaves satin cut-outs. I just held it where I wanted it & ran a quick straight stitch with my sewing machine down the center. How easy peasy is that? And a simple example of the current May Arts challenge- sewing with ribbon. You've got 2 days to sew some ribbon on ANYTHING & post it on the May Arts blog (that challenge closes Sept. 19th)!!
ALSO- I must again encourage you to 'like' May Arts on facebook- they're giving ribbon away right & left on their facebook page too! Make sure you check their page EVERY week!! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by- I'd love to hear what you think!

  1. Fun, great take on the challenges... and yes, fabulous ribbon, now if only I knew how to operate a sewing machine... (not one of my many skills).

  3. What a gorgeous card! You're gonna laugh, when I got my Halloween pack in the mail I created some cards with ribbon stitched down the middle too! Completely different look though! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

  4. Too cute! I can't believe (okay, I believe because I know that you wouldn't fib) that little row of leaves is ribbon. WOW!

    I haven't stamped all week and today my brother is coming to help me hang new shelving in The Zone. Organizing - here I come!

  5. This card has such a lovely autumn vibe! I love the ribbon leaves! I've been thinking about getting my sewing machine out and trying some stitching on my projects. This definitely inspires me to do just that!
