Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday.
This will be a short post as Lou and I are celebrating our anniversary tonight!
FabFridays have a great sketch challenge that I almost missed! I think I am squeaking in just under the wire on this one.
Here's the sketch:
I decided to do something a little different with the Watercolor Winter set. I know it's a great Christmas set, but got to thinking that it should be good for other cards around this time of the year. I pulled out some gold embossing powder and Always Artichoke ink, did some masking – and this is what I came up with
Of course, I had to use my new SU labels and piercing template :-) I also decided to do the base of the card in Gold Metallic card stock to help complement the gold embossing.
Don't forget to pop along to the FabFriday site and check out the fabulous design team and submission cards.
On a personal note:
I did have to share a couple of photos with you tonight. Here's a photo of the pumpkins that we carved (sorry its a little blurry….. but I think you still get the idea 🙂 )
I've always wanted to put hay bales on a front porch. This year is the first year that we have been able to do that – as it's the first year we have had a front porch :-) The spider… LOVE the spider… we got him at Pottery Barn. His name is Fred 🙂
Here's what it looks like at night
As always, thank you for visiting my little corner of the stamping blogosphere. You know your visits and support are very much appreciated – as are your comments 🙂
Warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs

Great card Jaydee! The piercing really showcases the image so beautifully and I think this card is gender neutral.
Your front porch is SO pretty. Fred is something! Your carving looks wonderful too. You have created such a great Halloween scene.
Happy Anniversary!!
Happy Anniversary and I hope you have many more happy years together. Your porch is great and the pumpkins are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Anniversary! Your porch and all the carved pumpkins are so neat. I guess they will be covered with snow soon, LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Anniversary Jaydee and Lou. Your home is lovely – have enjoyed seeing some of it. Thanks for sharing and, Happy Fall. It has been beautiful, hasn’t it? P.S. Love your card, as usual!!
Great way to use this set for a non-Christmas card! The colors you used make it look really modern! And I love your porch decorations! Thanks for sharing with us at Fab Friday!
Happy anniversary!
I simply have to gush about your porch and Fred. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! :o) How fun to have such a wonderful space to decorate! :o)
The card is so elegant, and I truly enjoy how you use stamps “outside the box”. You help me view them with a fresh eye. :o)
Hugs!
P.S. Hiya Lou! :o)
Happy Anniversary! I love your decorated porch with the carved pumpkins–especially the owl and the bird! You sure are a woman of many talents!!!
