Grateful - Pumpkin Boy - Freebie

        This is the most adorable little boy pushing the wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins.  My inspiration came from Deloris, a fellow friend card maker. The image is called AKV wheelbarrow boy from Bugaboo Stamps. (50% off sale this month.) I tried to make it Fall without using orange.  Actually, it has a little turquoise and wine as well as other Fall colors.  I embossed the Hero Art leaf with bronze powder and it's shiny with wonderful texture.  I doubled stitched around the card....looks like I may have had too much wine while sewing one side...not really....I think I sneezed and it went askew....haha.

Size: A2   Copic markers for coloring...opens sideways...sentiment stamp from Hero Arts
Challenges:
Bugaboo (Catch the Bug): Twirling Autumn
Cards for Men:  Anything Goes...as long as it's for a male
Delightful Sketches: Sew

The freebie today doesn't follow with my card. My future DIL has done a half marathon and is now training for a marathon in California in a few months.  Someone asked me today for help with this picture, so it helps her and helps me as well.

  10. HA HA I was thinking the same thing Rae Ann posted about the naked person (-:

    I really like how you staged this photo, with the pine cone, straw and woven basket. It really adds to the whole "feeling" of the card and looks GREAT!!
