I know it isn't Autumn yet but this gorgeous image from our sponsor, Sparkle n Sprinkle ("Welcome Autumn"), was begging to be used as my DT card for the latest monthly challenge at Cards Galore Encore. I have a huge collection of both stamps and digi images from SnS and this one hadn't been used and needed to be.
Although this started with a pre-colored image, I used my ProMarkers to color the sky and to add colors to the cat, the kitten, the bird, the fence, and a couple of the squashes. I discovered that technique several months ago and love using it for different looks.
The die is an unbranded die and the ribbon was in my stash. I doubled it, wrapped it around the card front, and then used two layers to make the double-loop bow. I stamped the sentiment.

This is my last DT post for Crafts Galore Encore because I'm going to be gone off and on throughout the summer. I'll continue to do DT work for three teams but have had to resign or take leave time from the other three in order not to be overwhelmed. I'm going to miss all of the wonderful ladies who have become friends from those teams but I'll be around blogland and will play in those challenges as often as possible. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
Below is a photo of the lattice-gate when it's closed.
I used the sketch from Stella Says Sketch
and the colors from Catch the Bug.
