Artsystamper Challenge - Harvest Time

Hello my friends!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Artsystamper Challenge Blog where the team is showcasing digital images designed by Beverly Cole at The Artsystamper Shop!   The 1st and 3rd Monday of each month brings another Artsystamper Challenge
and today's theme is:

Harvest Time

Beverly has designed a beautiful new set called A Bunny Harvest and that is what the Design Team is using for their creations today!  Be sure to check 'em out!
 
Here's what I've created for you today . . .
 
 
I have combined this new 'A Bunny's Harvest' stamp set . . .
 

 
 
with a few images from an older set called  'Autumn Gifts' Stamp Set.


 
 My entire focus image was created using Microsoft Word10 software and Bev's amazing precolored digital images!  SO MUCH FUN!!!
I did die cut some ivy to add a touch of dimension to my card!  Love how it turned out!!

Next I want to share a card that came to life due to a PRINTING ERROR while making my sample card above.
 
 
 
As you can see, my focus image on this card, is large and only a portion of the actual image you see on my first card.  Here's how this happened . . .

Usually when I start putting together images I want to use for the focus of my card, as I said I use Word10 software and 'typically' I switch the paper size to 4 x 6.  This time I forgot to do that!  SO when I printed it out onto my glossy 4x6 paper, THIS is all that printed out!  LOL
 
 Well, we crafters don't like to waste ANYTHING as was the case here!  I simply fussy cut the extra white area away from the image and began laying it out this way and that until I ended up with this CAS design.  The stamped sentiment is from Echo Park and it qualifies as NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff).  Using my stamping platform, I stamped it multiple times using various fall colors here and there.  Lastly I did some faux stitching.

Challenges to share in:

 I hope you'll come join in our challenge fun!

    LOL okay I'm chuckling, Darlene, as you must know the printing thing happens to me more than I care for and I cannot figure out why. At least you know why. And I'd do it too but I only print letter size so... Just gorgeous cards, totally! Stunning! The entire team hit home runs. I love how you managed to combine so much from the other set, bravo! XXO

    These are the most wonderful digi sets and you've used them beautifully! Love the second card, too. I certainly would not toss out that printing. Weird things do happen frequently when I'm printing digis. Not as often with my new printer, thank goodness. Two utterly gorgeous fall cards, Darlene!

    You always do a beautiful job combining these digital images, I like how you added the ivy die cut with it. Great job saving your image that printed out too large!
