Fall foliage


     It's two-fer Tuesday!  LOL  I'm behind in getting my projects posted so you get two Purple Onion Designs creations today.
     First up is Cinnamon Squirrel who is thankful for all his acorns.  I stamped the leaves and acorns (Autumn Fallings) several times and added them to the Hang in There tree branch.  One of the sentiments from the Thanksgiving Feast sentiment set finishes off the stamping.


     Next up is some loose watercoloring over images from the Doodle Foliage set.  I just used several Distress inks to add fall colors and LOTS of splatter.


     For those of you wondering, the benefit for my friend went very well this past weekend.  God blessed and on top of the money we were able to raise we got to know lots of her family who came over from New Orleans and Atlanta to help.  Amazing people and now people we can call friends.
     Have a blessed week!
Tracy

Oh, Tracy, I love the squirrel, and what beautiful coloring and a fabulous background! I love how you've added the leaves and acorns to the branch. What a sweet card! And what an adorable card the second one is with the whimsical feel to it...love the loose watercoloring! So relaxing! Well, praise God for a good fundraiser. I am way behind in commenting, so I'll have to read previous emails from your posts. But I'm so glad you met lots of her family! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo

Gorgeous cards! Love the squirrel one and the way you have the leaves going outside the border. The leaf one is so pretty... elegant and artsy.
