Welcome to the Gina K CSS Alumni November blog hop - this month we are using this inspiration photo for our creations.
If you are following the hop then you came to me from Shari's sweet blog http://www.suessentiments.org/ - and I am sure she had something awesome for you!!!
Remember that we are drawing for a yummy grab bag of Gina K stamps from those who leave comments along the way!!!
I need to get my Christmas cards finished so I chose to go with a Christmas theme instead of fall but I used the browns and white and the round shapes for my cards. I used a digital stamp from Gina K for my cards and colored them with prismacolor pencils.
The letters on the first 2 were done with a gold pencil but it doesn't look very gold in the photos. I did a bit of distressing and them too. The last card is layered to a rich dark brown but I couldn't get it to look brown (instead of black) no matter how many pictures I took.....
We this is all for me today - the DH and I are going to a concert tonight and out of town - just the 2 of us :)
Have a great weekend!!!!

Terrific Christmas cards, yet still incorporating colors and shapes from the inspiration photo. Good job!
Love the distressing colors and how they can change the appearance of a card....very nice!
