I can’t remember if I have mentioned it before, but autumn is my favorite time of the year. The fresh, crisp breeze, the fall colors, the sky which is a color of blue you don’t see any other time of the year, the pumpkins and apples, hay rides, bonfires… I could go on and on. While I was feeling inspired by the season, I decided to make a card using Acorns Pumpkin Teddy. Doesn’t he just epitomize the spirit of the season?
After coloring Teddy, I decided I didn’t like any of the papers I had on had so I ran to my LSS to pick up some new papers. I added some cork and dyed seam binding that I had on hand. The border was die cut from a Starbucks coffee sleeve and colored using Maya mist. I know it is hard to tell in the picture but it is brown with a metallic gold gleam.
Did you see Mabelle’s exciting announcement last week? She is going to start selling some of her images as rubber stamps through her Etsy store. I know some of you will really love this! You can see the announcement on the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog.

Leaf background is marvelous. That Leaf on its head is gorgeous. It looks real and beautiful. I noticed that you stitched on background or its each and every layers, is gratifying work.
beautiful creation and great use of the button theme, thank you for sharing your gratifying work at the Emerald Faerie Garden.
