Bounty for Body and Soul

     This lovely image is from Digistamps4Joy and it's a freebie for their challenge for the next week or so.  I thought it made a perfect autumn bounty card so I pulled together a bunch of scraps bits and pieces which were on my craft desk and this is the result.


I was influenced by the colors in the middle column (willow, gold, apple) of the TicTacToe Color Dare challenge at Color My Heart and I also used lemon and nectarine from the board plus the neutrals black, white, and brown.
     I colored with ProMarkers, then cut the image with an Unbranded oval die.  I had a scrap of dp left which had been cut with a stitched die from Memory Box.  I tucked it behind the image.  The gold ribbon scrap with the checkerboard pattern (Really Reasonable Ribbon) was just long enough to wrap around the card front and then I began putting on the other layers.  The sentiment was printed and cut with the smallest die from the Unbranded die set.

     My final embellishment was to tie a triple loop bow using my bow maker and I added it on top of the other RRR ribbon.
