Limited Runs is running their September/October Progressive Challenge and their freebie image is "The Count." I thought the image was hysterically funny and here's what I did with it.
First, let me say that the colors in this photo are completely off! The spiderweb papers are actually violet and the bow is purple, not blue. The plaid papers stayed pretty much true, thankfully. I have re-photographed this a dozen times but the colors are still wonky.
I used ProMarkers to color the image and cut it with a Sizzix die. All four of the dp squares were cut with Unbranded dies and the sentiment was cut with a die from QuicKutz. The papers are from Graphic 45 and both ribbons came from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used my bow maker to tie the double loop bow.

Tomorrow is the start of a new month, October! How did it get to be October already? Sheesh - it feels like I'm just now recovering from the whirlwind of holidays last winter. lol Oh, well, that just means I'll have a pile of DT first-of-the-month posts over the next 24 hours, including one that's brand new for me. That's all the hint you get right now. Be sure to check back as your schedule allows.

I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.
