Fall With A View...SDDC2

It's time for this month's Stamper's Dream Dreamy Challenge!

This month the challenge is to make a fall card with a window. It can be a literal window, or a window punched out of your card. You decide...be as creative as you like!

Now I MUST tell you that I made my *first* SDDC2 card over a week ago. And at the last minute I realized the challenge required a FALL card! So this is what I put together at the last minute. Of course, Laurie said since I MADE the first one in the FALL it should count! LOL! But I didn't want to break the rules, ya know! They would NEVER let me hear the end of that one!


The tree image is Hero Arts Stamping Green tree. I stamped it on watercolor paper using VersaFine Sepia ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder.

The squirrel is from a clear set called Trees, Birds & Messages (out of stock). Both were colored with Tombow markers and cut out. I hand cut the grass with my scissors. Actually, it goes pretty quickly and doesn't take as long as you might think.

The designer paper on the front panel is from the Memory Box Twiggy paper collection. I used the scraps from the front panel to cut my grass, then sponged the edges with Peeled Paint Distress ink.

To make SURE I covered my tail on the FALL card part, I used my JustRite Brayton Font with their Rectangular Stamper Set to make the "Happy Fall Ya'll" sentment for the inside. It's something us Southerners say! LOL! NOW let them tease me about my card not being FALL! :-)

I cut the window for the sentiment using my brand new Label One Nestabilities . The frame for the sentiment was cut using two of the dies to cut at the same time...one inside the other. Make sure the two dies don't touch when you cut using that method.

We would LOVE for you to play along with this month's challenge! All you have to do is make a FALL card with a view! Link your card to this post in the comments section. If you post to Splitcoast, please used the code SDDC2 so we can find them all together in the gallery.

I will use the random thingy to select the winner and post their name in my regular post on Wednesday, November 26. And this is the Dreamy Treat the winner will receive!

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Dream Team dreamed up for this challenge!
