Weekend Sketch Challenge #56

Here's my contribution to Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #56. I opted for a 4-1/2 by 5-1/2 inch card instead of the square one. Nothing fancy . . . I inked up my leaf with Goldrush and used sponge daubers to add Autumn Terracotta and Cranberry. You'll probably be seeing plenty of the Nature's Vein set in weeks to come, because it's another of my favorites.

Materials & Tools: Colonial White, Goldrush, Barn Red, and Chocolate cardstock; Harvest paper packet (retired); Goldrush, Autumn Terracotta, Cranberry, Barn Red, and Chocolate ink pads; Nature's Vein, Weathered Backgrounds, and Treasure Life September SOTM stamp sets; Chocolate Grosgrain Ribbon; Piercing Tool; Stampin' Up Piercing Guide and Mat; 3M foam mounting tape.

Here's a photo of Bjorn and Mathias I took this morning. These blocks are one the best purchases I've ever made. They require no batteries, just imagination. We built towers and houses and a hanger for Bjorn's airplane. It was fun.

Now that I'm on my own again, I'm going to pick up where I left off with the laundry and domestic duties. When I get done, I'll treat myself with a stamping session. Now, that I've given into the inevitability of fall, I should see what I have for Halloween stamps. Perhaps, I'll be back with something spooky . . .
