Fall Card - My First for 2012

My first Fall card for 2012 is put together using the Harvest Gathering stack from DCWV (I believe it was from last year, so I'm not sure if you can get it anymore).  I followed the sketch from this week's Sketchy Colors challenge.  That was fun, as I haven't used a sketch for quite a long time!  The image is an Inkadinkado clear stamp image that was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa on PTI paper, with some Tea Dye distress ink around the edges.  The Dew Drops are from Robin's Nest, the brown crocheted lace is from my stash, and the butterfly die cuts are from Memory Box, the Darla and Vivienne dies.

Sentimental Sundays #59 - Father's Day or Card for a Man

Welcome back for a new challenge with Sentimental Sundays.  This is challenge #59, and the theme this week is:  Father's Day or Card for a Man (with a sentiment!)  We are sponsored this week by Meljen's Designs!

The little Father's Day stamp that I used for this card is from Studio112, and the dp is from the Tattered Time collection from DCWV.  I've used an EK Success punch to do the notebook edge at the bottom, love their punches (so much easier on the hands than most).  

Be sure to use a sentiment somewhere on your card or project, and to follow the theme however you may interpret it.  While Ann (Raindrop Echo Designs) offers fabulous freebies, and also sells a wide variety of sentiment stamps at Whimsy Stamps, you are free to use any sentiment.  Be sure to link up on the Sentimental Sundays blog before the next challenge to be in the running for a fabulous prize, and use a direct link to make it easy for us to find your new card or project.
