The Outlawz, Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge

 

The new challenge at The Outlawz Songs & Rhymes Challenge group has just started and this is the poem to inspire you

  Summer's flurry
      Of green is over,
      Apples are ripe,
      Mown is clover.
Colors, ablaze
      On mountains, burn,
      Smolder, and flame
      As the seasons turn.
Harvest moon
      Comes up at dusk,
      Gold as a pumpkin
      Or corn in the husk...
~Harry Behn (1898–1973), "Autumn," The Golden Hive, 1966

My DT card features an image from Makenna Kroulik that I coloured with alcohol markers


I also used the following to create my card

white CS card base, brown CS mats, orange CS embossed offcuts, gems

The Outlawz Twisted Thursdays Sponsor Appreciation Week 3

 

It's week three of our Sponsor Appreciation week challenges for November at The Outlawz Challenges Twisted Thursday group.

As always, it's ANYTHING GOES, with an optional twist which this time is to use colours from one half of the colour wheel.

The image, Carousel Horse, on my DT card is from Beccy's Place, one of our generous prizes sponsors this year. I coloured the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut it.

Also used to create my card are

white CS card base, blue CS mats, blue CS scalloped frame, sewn on sequins and beads, tiny satin ribbon bow, and that shiny background is the last of a roll of embossed 'shiny stuff' that I bought over 20 years ago!

luv'n huggz, Jen Leeflang
