Cute Friends

This is my post on the Classy Cards 'n Such blog today!!

Hello Classy Friends

Diane here with you today on the Classy Cards 'n Such blog.

Is the weather getting cooler in your neck of the woods?

It is here in Michigan (known as the winter wonderland).....

but before winter sets in, we have Fall...

my favorite time of the year, and what better way to celebrate

then to have a Fall Kitty Picnic!!!

Using our newest challenge inspiration photo below,
I came up with the following card!

When I purchase my products from Beverly, I try to look

at each item in many ways, getting lots of use out of them for each season.

 The Wild Rose Studio Kitty Picnic stamp was no exception.

By using fall colors, I was able to turn a summer stamp into fall!!

Using Graphic 45 Botanical Tea 6 x 6 paper, 

I paper pieced both the picnic basket and dress.

This cute stamp has both lady bugs and a butterfly on it.....

being fall I covered them up by first using

Twinkling H2O's Autumn Brilliance painted on card stock

then cut out with Impression Obsession Small Leaf Set.

I love the shimmer the H2O's give the leaves...just like real ones!!

I placed the small leaves over the butterfly and ladybugs and

viola' I have a fall card!!

For my background, I cut strips of paper from "Kaisercraft" Lady Rose paper pad.

For a bit of interest I used Stickles on the flowers and hat!!

Adding a satin bow, a button (and a few more of those shimmery leaves)

and my card is complete!!

It is always a fun inspiration photo and you could be our weekly winner!!!
