Hello! Hello! Fall is definitely in the air here in Maine and Marybeth from Marybeth's Time For Paper has put together a wonderfully festive kit for this months 12 Kits of Occasion.
Here's my cards:
Marybeth included these wonderful printed papers from PTI and this fun sentiment. All I added was this darling little cup filled with a pumpkin spice latte from Darcie's Cookies and Cocoa. It's actually a Christmas image but I covered the holly and berries with a couple of leaves that were in the kit and tried to make the peppermint sticks look like cinnamon sticks. There's a heavy dose of Wink of Stella on the cinnamon sticks to sweeten them up a bit!
Next up is a shaker card. Everything I used was included in Marybeth's kit. Super cute!
Love this pumpkin cart from PTI. I'd love to have one sitting on my front porch to fill with the harvest of each season.
A pretty leaf image embossed on water color paper. I used zigs to color it in and added a strip of gold, some paper from the kit and twine that was wrapped around the kit when it arrived. Marybeth sure knows how to make a presentation!
Again, everything here was included in the kit. I cut the scalloped edge out of the orange cardstock she sent.
These lovely leaves were colored using distress inks. The rake was left over from a project last year. I finally found a use for it! I added some rain drops to finish it off.
I absolutely loved these images from Purple Onion Marybeth sent. I colored them up using Copics and created a slider for these little fella's to ride their bike on.
The sentiments are computer generated.
I added some Glossy Accents to the little frog to make him look slimy and gave texture to the little fox and scenery using a scrap of towel soaked with Copic blender.
What a fun, fun kit this was to work with! Thanks so much Marybeth! I'll enjoy using up the leftovers after I see all my friends cards. I know I'll want to CASE them all!
Be sure to visit the 12 Kits of Occasion blog to see how the other gals were inspired by Marybeth's kit.
