IO Challenge- Say it Big
Sometimes you see a stamp that just speaks to you. I knew that the Quirky Loves Crazy stamp (G17071) would be perfect to use on cards for my friends. I think we actually take pride in being a little quirky and crazy.
To make the card, I started with watercolor paper, wet it, and then painted it with Peerless watercolors. I then added the owls, which were also colored with watercolor paint. The owls are actually one stamp called Owl on Head (D7801). To me, it looks like one is doing a little tap dance on top of another tap dancing owl. I might be reading too much into the stamp, but that is what I see. :)

IO Challenge- Fall Colors
Is it just me, or is summer just zipping by? It is already time to start thinking about fall and all the gorgeous fall colors.
For my card, I wanted to play with the new Fall Pumpkin image (E16123). It just lends itself to using the orange, gold, and olive colors I wanted. I created my own background with the Starburst Cover a Card (CC221). I embossed it in gold powder and then colored it with an assortment of Distress Markers. I then used the same markers to color my pumpkin. To finish the card, I used the Fall Blessings (C19008) saying.
