A happy Saturday Morning to you all! Here in NC we are sweltering, it feels more like August than like the end of September. Yesterday was about 93 and we are supposed to be just as hot today! I am so ready for the rain and cooler weather that is forecast for tomorrow! In the meantime, the hot outside is perfect for staying inside and creating! Ah ha, this week I had my supplies so was able to put a little more imagination in my card. Hope you will enjoy it!
As the title of this post indicates, we were to use the tag from SCH
"Lord of the Harvest". Since I am yearning for fall with all it's vivid colors I didn't have any problem finding colors to use. The sketch I used is from
MMSC72.
Fall is the time of year when God gets to show off His amazing colors of creation! With this in mind I was not at all conservative and used deep, rich, vivid colors! Here is my card:
As you have noticed if you have come here before, these colors are creeping into most of my cards these days. I can't seem to get enough of this richness, perhaps it is because most of nature right now is in a transition from the greens of summer to the blah colors just before fall comes. What ever the reason is I am enjoying the heck out of these colors! :) Here are a couple of close ups of the leaves (from Michaels) and the flower (made from vellum):
Thank you for coming by, I am thrilled when you visit and take the time to tell me your thoughts. Please be sure to visit the rest of the design teams creations, You will be so happy you did, there are so many ways this tag can be used and each way is better than the last.
Be sure to take the jump over to SCH's store to see what Tracy has for you. The images there are so gorgeous.....and she always has a freebie for you! Blessings to each of you!!
Hugs..

Donna,
I love the richness is your colors too! I also like the added owl image it goes perfect with your main image.

Beautiful card Donna!! Fall is certainly God's best artwork when he created the seasons.
Donna, this is a gorgeous card! What a wonderful job on the sketch. Wonderful rich colors and such a beautiful design with amazing elements.
This is just stunning Donna! I love the depth and richness of the colors you achieved here. Fall is my favorite season because of the warm colors and you've captured that here. Such a feast for my eyes! Oh and that owl is a wonderful touch!
Girl, we are about to roast here as well with this heat. However, cooler days are ahead. Your card is just glorious. I don't know how you do it but every card you make has a different look and feel about it. Love the colors and those pretty embellishments you have used. Blessings, Tracy
