CDAC Progressive Challenge #5

I HAVE THREE POSTS TODAY SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR "COOKING IT UP WITH KATIE" OR "DUDE TIME DOODLES BLOG HOP", PLEASE SCROLL DOWN.

     Wow, 3 postings on the same day!  It's been a while since I did that but I wanted to share the card I made for the CDAC Progressive Challenge.  The images are free if you've played the previous 2-week challenge, or you can "buy in", play, and then the images will be free to you for the following challenge.  All the details can be found over on the CDAC site.


I used the sketch from Lily Pad.  

     The colors came primarily from Bows and Berries, orange, kraft, green, yellow, and brown.    However, the inspiration photo at Cupcake Inspirations  has the same orange and green, with black also.  I colored the image (which is by Sew Many Cards) with Copic markers and will be submitting this to Colour Me Creative  for Fun Fall Coloring.   Have you ever seen a happier turkey? Maybe he thinks that pie is the only thing that's going to be food!

     The orange and white paper is digital from Doodle Pantry, and the bottom one is from an older DCWV stack.  The green mat for the image has a subtle leaf pattern in it but, when I die cut the square, I put it in the machine upside down so only the textured side shows on my card!   Duuuuh.  Can you believe?
     
    Critter Sketch wants to see patterned papers this week.  The leaves are from my stash and the flower charm was part of a prize package I won from The Wooden Hinge.  Fabulous charms, btw!   The diamond pattern ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, where they have a theme of Fun for Fall.

     OK, here's the rest of the challenges:

Sundays with Chrissy - Thanksgiving
Crafts 4 Eternity - Metal embellishments
Wags and Whiskers - Fall colors
Designed 2 Delight - Cute Critters
Stamp, Scrap, & Doodle - Bon Appetite  - food (the pie or the turkey, depending on how you see it!)
Gingerloft - Fall
Pile It On - Be Happy (and pile on as many challenges as possible)
Scrappy Frogs - Something that flies
Cards for Men - Animals
Die Cut Dreams - So charming
Forever Friends - Anything Goes (must have an animal)
Squigglefly - Saying Thanks

     OK, we're half-way to the weekend when it'll be play time !  Yay!!  Hope the rest of your week is wonderful, and I'll have another posting for you sometime between now and Monday.   At the moment, I'm going to go relax the shoulder and hope I can work the rest of the day.  Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie
