I was over browsing around the Ching-Chou Kuik blog, then strolled over to their Etsy shop and found this image which jumped in my cart without even asking! lol I brought it home and made this early autumn card.
The image is printed directly onto the card front. I colored her with my ProMarkers, then inked the edges of the card front to give it a bit of a frame. I printed the sentiment, hand cut it and inked the edges of it. I added the dark brown pearls and decided it was finished. A nicely CAS design.

I do hope fall is truly right around the corner. We've suffered through the longest, hottest summer recorded in the last 25 years! We've had more than 50 days over 100 degrees F when we normally have 30 or 31. At least yesterday and today we've been in the highest 90s but haven't broken into triple digits so there's hope. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Amazing how things just fall into shopping carts. She's a beautiful image and you did a great job with your creativity bringing her to lie with these golden brown colors for autumn
How pretty, Connie! Lovely soft colors, and beautifully shaded. Her soulful eyes bring out the Peacefulness she is enjoying being surrounded by nature. I love that her eyes, lips and the bird are the focal points! Gorgeous! hugs, de
This is gorgeous Connie, love the beautiful soft colours and beautiful image.

Oh, that happens to me all the time, Connie -- images and other things jumping into my cart. This one is so beautiful, though, and I love your autumn coloring. I can't imagine it looking better any other way. I hope you get to enjoy that cooler autumn weather soon. We don't get much of the heat here on the Oregon coast, but I'm always ready for a change of season by the end of summer. Thanks so much for joining our Neutrals challenge at Double D!

Love the neutral colors you used to color your image. Thank you for blessing us with your creation at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with the Word of God in 1 Peter 1:13 which tells us, "Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming." Blessings always.
