The Pixie Cottage Challenge #38 - Orange - Guest Sketch

It's time for another challenge over at and this week we have a Special Guest Sketch Artist and it's Aud Nordheim!
She created this fabulous sketch for us:



As the additional challenge this week we'd love to see you use Orange in your creation. That shouldn't be too difficult with Fall upon us and Halloween racing fast towards us.

Challenges:

Stamp Insanity - Emboss
Stampin For The Weekend - Tag It
Wee Memories - Tags
Stamp Something - Fall colors
For Fun - Fall
Meljens - Fall Colors
Stamptacular Sunday - Colors of Fall

Craftalicious - Autumn Colors
Drunken Stampers - Fall
A Crafty Little Place - Autumn
Flourishes - Autumn
Tuesday Taggers - Autumn sponsored by The Craft Barn
Speedy The Cats Friends - Pumpkin
Corrosive - Masking (I masked the image so I could airbrush the background)
One Stitch at a Time - Anything Goes
Incy Wincy - Anything Goes
Make It Crafty - Anything Goes
Random Amusing - 2 different Ribbons



Card Recipe:
Image - Pumpkin Molly
Medium - Copic Markers and Airbrush System
Paper - Autumn Splendor by DCWV (not available online but I got it from Michaels)
Embossing folders by Sizzix (Tim Holtz) and Cuttlebug (flower border)
Ribbon - Hobby Lobby



I really love how this one turned out, I airbrushed the background (thanks Risa for the super Tutorial) and colored another image, cut it out and popped it up for some more dimension.
I added some brown paint to the centers of the flowers on the embossed border and also embossed the punched border across the middle.
I love the colors of Fall, so bright and cheery and I hope it got the theme across in this card.
