Today was haircut day, then home to do a few house chores. Have a few wreath images I've been working on of late; for some reason wreaths are appealing to me just now. This one is a wooden Penny Black, that is probably a NBUS. For some reason, it was a bit difficult to color. It was hard to pick earth tone colors for the pine cones, that would show up nicely. I was a bit disappointed in this one, but after going back to try to add contrast here and there on the pine cones, decided I best leave well enough alone.
Sentiment - Karen Burniston die set with some seasonal words. White snippets, colored with copics, 3 layers. Added WoS, then some Nuvo Crystal glaze. The fall looks like fau to me once it was laced down. The orange mat of the wreath is raised on white fun foam.
- MS border punch out of some VOS autumn themed 12x12 paper
- leaves are left-overs from a Prickley Pear Pumpkin set, that had a matching die. Didn't want the leaves with the pumpkins, so colored and added them on this card. Again, WoS, and no glaze.
A new card was added to the Cards by Friends page, so hope you can check it out!
We're expecting some rain tomorrow. Mr has an early morning CT scan....tummy problems again. So not sure what our day will bring. A family wedding on Saturday, so that's pretty much our weekend started. For some reason today, I keep thinking it's Friday, and then catch myself...No, it's Thursday!
Hope you've had a good day. Thanks for joining me, and big hugs!

Gorgeous card, Mary, perfect colours for autumn. Hope your hubby's scan goes well tomorrow. Have a lovely time at the wedding on Saturday, fingers crossed for good weather. xx
ReplyDeleteThis pine cone wreath is very pretty and close up you can see the varied brown tones you have used, and the yellow background and bow, and the lovely bright orange are the perfect Fall colours. I hope that the scan goes well for your Hubby. x
ReplyDeleteThe wreath turned out so pretty, and I love the little bow - it looks just like a bow made of straw! Great autumn themed card with beautiful colors. I'm saying a little prayer for your hubby for his scan tomorrow. Hopefully it's nothing serious, but if you're anything like me, you're on edge until you get the results! HUgs!!

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeletewhat a very gorgeous Autumnal card and that wreath looks really pretty.
Love all the lush autumn colours used.
Hope all went well for hubby as I know how stressful this sort of time is.
Been caring for my hubby with lots of health issues at the mo so I can sympathize.
Hope the weather is good for the wedding and congrats to the happy couple.
Love and big crafty hugs from my house to yours.

I have to admit, I love a good wreath too and yours is beautiful in those wonderful autumnal colours! Hope they get to the bottom of what is troubling Mr. Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteRain for us tonight from the hurricane that hit Mexico. Sounds like a few days of rain, but don't think it is all from the hurricane. Raw and yucky out so I'm hunkering down this weekend! I love this card Momma Mary! The pine cone wreath is so cool!! I also love all the bright fall colors on this one as well as that big bow and those leaves. I hope Mr's testing goes well and his tummy get's straighten out again. Not fun when your tummy is always bothering you! Enjoy the wedding as well, sounds like your weekend will be a busy one! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous fall wreath card, Mary! I wish we could get some rain here, but no sign of it yet as far as they can see through November 6th. I'm sorry to hear that Joe is having tummy trouble again and I hope he feels better very soon!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty Fall card, Mary! The vibrant colors remind me of VT foliage! Hope Joe's scan went well and the results are good. Keep me posted.
ReplyDeleteYou should not be so hard on yourself because this is a cherry fall card that you composed and coloured well.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Mary, I really like the cone wreath behind the vibrant berries.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn card Mary! The colours are so bright and vibrant. This is a "feel good" kind of card ... the sunny colours brought a smile to my face. Hope all went well with Joe's CT scan. xx
