When the summer temps are high and uncomfortable, I admit it: I pretty much fold like a cheap beach chair. But come Autumn, I feel refreshed and revived. It's definitely my time of the year. There's something about crisp leaves, cool days, apples, pumpkins, rosy cheeks, warm and wooly sweaters and delicious bowls of warm comfort food that brings me back from the nearly-dead.
With several challenges and Autumn in mind, I created this card using one of the digital images from artist Chris at Sketching Stamper that I resurrected from my digi stash. I colored this using Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol. The 'zen' takes over and I can color for hours with pencils.
Today's challenges...
Corrosive Challenge -Shake off the dust - unused image from my stash
Creative Craft World - Fall theme
Gingerloft Challenge Halloween
Robyn's Fetish Challenge -Keep it simple
Opus Gluei - Easel card

Hands down the best card I have ever seen done with pencils.. This is incredible.. I love the array of coloring you added. This is amazing Peggy..
Peggy, this is so beautiful! I especially love your soft subtle colors.
I have colored these pumpkins, and have always used the more vibrant colors.. I am going to have to try some in the softer pallet!
