Hi! This is my 3rd post today. If you are here looking for my HLS Sketch post click on this card:
OR if you’re looking for my MMCC post click on this one:
So! Now I have a bright Autumnal ombre card to share with you. 🙂 The colors in this card remind me of Fall in Maine. Sigh. If you ever have the opportunity to go to Maine at this time of year do it!
I used Penny Black’s Foliage Fancy stamps, an Avery Elle “hello” die and a PTI birthday sentiment to make this card.
I’m going to play this at Time Out’s Challenge #41 ‘Inspired By Words’, The Male Room’s Challenge #20: Autumn, Fusion’s Falling Leaves Bouquet, Uniko’s Challenge #25, Inspirational’s Challenge #92 – Picture Inkspiration , SSS Monday’s Challenge: Ombre, SSS Wednesday’s Anything Goes and Word Art Wednesday’s Challenge #203 Anything Goes.
I thought you might like to go on a relaxing trip to Maine today, but you probably just aren’t able to. So, here are a few of my dad’s paintings of Fall in Maine. If you’d like, please click on the image to go a larger view or CLICK HERE to go to his gallery.
Thanks for stopping by!

I want to leave you with the Word of God in Psalm 12:1-2 which says, “I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from?
