Hello! I'm glad you could stop by today because I have the honor of posting as a guest designer with the Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Thank you Penny Black girls!
My ribbon is ric rac, which I think qualifies, my Penny Black stamped image is Owlsome, and the sentiment comes with the set.
Here's a giggle for you: I didn't notice that these owls were actually pumpkins when I ordered them. I loved them at first sight and I don't know what I was thinking... whimsical owls with leaves for wings and flower bedecked feathers? And what about the stems coming out the tops of their heads? I was totally blinded by their cuteness. Nevertheless, they're adorable for any kind of fall card.
I'm pretending these are a Mr. and Mrs. with the Mrs. being the smaller one in the front. I masked the Mrs., stamped the Mr. behind her, and gave them a grassy field from which to send their greeting. The leaves are cut out and arranged as shown. All coloring was done with Tombow markers, no water, on Fabriano Artistico Extra White 140 lb hot press watercolor paper. A little strip of designer paper decorates the upper edge. So much fun, and they do make a very happy greeting!
In addition to my guest spot at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, I'm heading over to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #20 because this my first card with the Owlsome set.
As always, count your blessings and hang in there till things are back to normal because, seriously, this cannot be our new normal. See you again soon!

WOO HOO!!!!!, my friend, how fantastic you get to be the Guest Designer, totally and fabulously deserved.
I love your very wide-eyed pumpkins, how sweet they look, beautifully colored as always.
You made me laugh when you mentioned that you thought they were owls, even with the stems sticking out from the top, but I totally understand how you overlooked that little detail, these little pumpkins are over the top adorable.
Thank you for sharing.

You have definitely made me smile this morning! I love your card and think it is super cute! Just look at those big eyes!
Congrats on your guest spot, I can totally see why you had to pick them up and love how you did the masking so he is right behind her, as always your coloring is spot on and just beautiful, love how you did the grass to sit them in, and like the ric rac to go between the scene and your patterned paper, love that sentiment to go with it, wonderful!
