ROUND #3 . . .

 . . . of the Progressive Challenge over at Crafter's Digital Art Center (CDAC).  If you haven't yet joined this group and the fun challenges, swaps & chit chat ... why not do it today ... GO HERE for all the details.

For this 3rd round, we have another FIVE artists represented and awesome digi's to play with.  Our theme this round is FALL/AUTUMN FEELING.   Knowing the next couple of weeks are going to be busy ... I thought I'd better do them all NOW ... so here we go!

 ** CLICK ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE **

 First is a digi image from Nicecrane Designs.  He certainly looks like he has something to say (or complain about, lol) hence my 'Serendipity' sentiment.  I created the paper for the leaves using various Tim Holtz distress inks then cut out the leaves using the Spellbinder Shapeabilities Fall Leaves dies.  Background papers are DCWV and Prismacolor markers were used for my coloring.

 Secondly is a beautiful fall Sunflower digi image from Just Inklined.  The background papers are DCWV, coloring was done with Prismacolor markers, satin ribbon from Michaels and Cherry Lynn Designs butterfly die. 

 My third creation uses another digi that has someone who appears to have something to say!  This lovely lady is from Liastampz and I think she's saying REMEMBER ...(inside) It's all about You~ at least for today!  Happy Birthday!   My background paper is The Paper Studio 'Mirabelle'.  Wording was created using Creative Memories small sticker letters and coloring again was with Prismacolor markers.

 WOW ... now this fourth creation SCREAMS FALL to me!!  She's from Gurukitty Designs and my coloring is once again Prismacolor markers.  Solid color cardstock was used for backing and the Spellbinder Scallop Edge Frame was done twice ... once around my image on the white printed paper and again on this DCWV rusty fall designer paper.  I then  set my image inside the dp frame.  In my scraps were various pieces of paper that I had created using Adirondack Alcohol Inks (long ago) and decided to use those to cut my fall leaves again using the Spellbinder Shapabilities Fall Leaves dies.  Gold Stickles and a few Prima flowers finished this creation.

Last but not least is this awesome 'Bowl of Apples' from Glitterbabe.  After printing my design, I cut around the apples & bowl and added a piece of designer paper for the 'wallpaper backdrop'.  I wish you could see the dimension in my photo ... it's SO MUCH BETTER IRL!!  The apples have SU Crystal Effects on them for shine and the bowl is POPPED UP with dimensional.  The apples on the 'table' were created with a stamp from the Graphic45 'An ABC Primer' stamp set and various SU inks.  The butterfly border was laying on my work table and was 'screaming' to be used and the plaid dp is Paper Pizazz.
