Welcome to another Four Seasons Challenge! After getting off to a great start in September, we're looking forward to seeing another gallery full of your fabulous entries this month. We're still in the fall season, so just remember -- anything goes FALL, now through the 25th.
Have a look at our inspiration board:
I saw the coffee and leaves in the upper left corner and thought "I have the perfect stamp". It's a retired and out of business Verve digi set called Coffee Please. I made a composite with several images in the set and colored with Tombow markers and blender pen.
I stitched some fall papers from my vast hoard, "nailed" a frame with copper brads, added a leaf which I die cut from a splattery background piece. After coloring, I smooshed the whole image panel with Versamark ink and embossed with ultra-thick embossing enamel -- two coats. Just for fun.
Please visit the Four Seasons Challenge Blog for all the details. The team has plenty more inspiration for you there. I hope to see you in the gallery! Enjoy!

Lovely stamp Leslie and gosh your design is spectacular and so classy....as always. I know as I have kept all of your real life cards sent to me.xxx
I love each of the elements lovingly put together in this card. So softly beautiful.
Oh Leslie this is awesome! Yes this image is perfect and I love the frame as well as the stitching. Well, I love the entire design ... BEAUTIFUL!
What an amazing design! I love everything about it. That frame is just perfect and the colors you chose are so beautiful!
Great take on the inspiration photo, love the 'nails', the stitching and those wonderful Autumnal colours. Fun idea to finish off with the UTEE Leslie x.
Wow! This is just fabulous. I always love to see what techniques you are using. So much going on here to finish with a great card for the challenge.
Gorgeous, love that image, terrific coloring of it, I don't know if it is your coloring or the embossing over it or what but it has that touch of softness and glow to it. The paper and framing is perfect with it and I just love your die cut leaf with it, neat speckles just like real leaves do :)
so cute. Love that little saying. Have a great day
What a fabulous card, Leslie! I love everything about it - the "nails," the thick embossing powder, the stitching - so perfect. And your coloring, of course, is awesome, too.
I love your card! It seems like all the good stamps are retired! I really like your frame and how you "nailed it" and the leaf just sets it off!
Leslie, seeing your card gave me a jolt!! because I have a Verve stamp set that I haven't used it in a super very long time so, thank you my friend, for reminding me about it, I just love those super cute pumpkins.
I don't have this digital image but I have the set with the pumpkins, it's sad this company is gone.
As always, your coloring and design bring the images to life, love the frame, if this was bigger, it could hang on a wall looking fabulous.
Thank you for remind me of this set, my friend.
Stay healthy and safe.

I love your vast hoard! Beautiful Fall card and colors Leslie! You made me smile. I have my paper by company but I’m not using it. You are making me think it needs to be by season/category to get used! Eek!

WOW, what a stunning card this is!! Fabulous image, perfect sentiment, wonderfully pretty fall colors, colored beautifully, and a cleverly beautiful design!!
Stunningly beautiful Leslie... The softness is amazing
Beautiful! You always have the most amazing card designs, Leslie! Love the images and the sweet sentiment. Gorgeous framing with the woodgrain frame and copper brads. Fabulous patterned paper for the background. All perfec together! xx
Love, love, love this, Leslie! A beautiful composition with wonderful coloring! Nothing like a hot cup of coffee on a chilly Fall day!
