Hey friends!! Popping in with two cards that I made for several challenges. The first card is for the current Color Throwdown, Freshly Made Sketches and Time Out challenges. I have not played along with a Time Out challenge in ages so when I saw that the new challenge is to be inspired by words ('Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile') I had to combine it with the other two challenges and play along. Been in a bit of a crafting funk the last few days so I did something that usually helps kick start my mojo... straight up stamping! I pulled out a few Stampin Up! sets (Painted Petals and French Foliage) and got to work. I used the rock and roll technique and threw in a bit of collage stamping. After stamping the majority of the images and the sentiment I felt there was a little something missing so I added a bit more stamping using a splatter image from French Foliage and the orange ink. I die cut the panel using the A Jillian Vance Design Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop dies (these dies are now my go to dies for creating my card panels... love them!) and then added a little sparkle with some clear sequins. Absolutely love how the card turned out and it did help to kick start my mojo... YAY!! Since today is World Cardmaking Day I'm going to enter this card into the Simon Says Stamp World Cardmaking Day challenge.
The second card was made for the current ColourQ and AAA Cards challenges. The current AAA cards (I had so many places I was trying to remember to link up my cards to that linking it up to AAA got lost in the shuffle...realized it last night!!) challenge is to make words the center of attention so it was the perfect time to use my Painted Thank You set from Concord & 9th. I found Concord & 9th several months ago through Splitcoaststampers. I love their fun, unique designs and just recently made another purchase from them. Can't wait to get my new goodies. For this card I kept things really simple and just used the brushstroke image from the set to stamp all the colors in the ColourQ combo. I then overstamped the thank you in black. The panel was die cut with the second largest rectangle from the A Jillian Vance Design Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop dies and added some clear sequins. The panel was mounted on a light grey card base. I think I will add this card to the current Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday, as well as the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.

Rosemary, these are both gorgeous fall cards! I love the leaves on the first card, and the pretty stripes on your second thank you card are perfect for the Colour Q challenge! I just discovered Concord and 9th and I bought that thank you stamp set...I'm loving it and I love what you did with it!
That's a terrific cluster of fall prettiness on your first card Rosemary!! Your second card is super fun with the colorful brushstrokes. Thanks so much for joining us at ColourQ!
Both so pretty, though it was the first one that caught my eye. Wonderful random cluster.
Your cards are beautiful, I particularly love the multi-colour stamping of the leaves and you are right, the extra little orange splatters just complete the card beautifully. Thank you for joining us at Color Throwdown this week! Karola, guest designer
