The temperatures have nicely cooled off here in the South....love that it smells and feels like *Fall* is in the air!
So, what did you all do this weekend??? We went to a birthday party and relaxed the rest of the time...I actually napped a lot, I think the *fresh* air got to me...LOL!
I did get a chance to stamp for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday ~ FTTC138. My sweet friend Heather is the hostess and she is challenging us with this beautiful *Fall* inspiration photo.
The colors are definitely my favorite....I miss the beautiful *Indian Summers* we used to have in Michigan. It always reminded me of how beautiful God made this world!
Here is my take on it....
I went with the Flourishes Sunflowers and the A Season of Thanks Set...because it complimented Iwona's awesome Sketchbook #131 layout.
The image was inked in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with these Copic Markers ~ YR02, YR07, R27, Y15, Y21, E37 and Colorless Blender. I added some corrugated cardboard and *ink distressed* the edges with some White Ink. I embellished the rest of the card with a doily, some Ribbon, Antique Brad, Glitter and some Large Halfback Pearls.
Hope your creative juices are flowing and you get a chance to play along with us :) ?!?
Don't forget to check out the rest of the team ~ Cindy, Heather, Tammy and Beate. We also have some extra helpers ~ Mona, Iwona and please help us welcome our new October Guest Designer Rosemary Dennis.
Thanks for swinging by today...have a fabulous week!
Hugs, ~Silke~

Just beautiful! I love the soft look of the painted corrugated cardboard, doily and pearls, with that vivid, gorgeous sunflower. Is that glitter or Stickles or something in the center of the flower? Love it! Looks like dew. ~Hugs, Cheryl
At first, I will thank you for the nice comment on my blog. Was nice from you make a comment on the Brazilian language. Thanks!
I have been admiring your work for some months, since I found your blog for the first time. You are a inspiration for many crafters.
Look at all of that wonderful texture! I love the corrugated background, and the brown gingham ribbon is fab. :)
