Happy Day Scene

I have another Pile It On! card for you today. Our theme this week is "Fall Challenge - use a leaf/leaves on your project." Here's my card:


I used the Happy Day set from There She Goes and this cool sketch from Get Sketchy (flipped upside down):


I wanted to share something with you - sometimes when I use a really complicated sketch, I'll make a scrap paper version so I know what sizes to cut my papers:


It really helps me to not waste patterned papers by cutting them in the wrong sizes (except in this case where I tried about 3 different papers before settling on the blue one!).

This card was pretty simple (once I figured out my pattern). I paper pieced the tree, grass and bird, and distressed all the edges of the sketch pieces. All the paper is from the Nutmeg Mini Deck from Cosmo Cricket. Lastly, I added some cross stitches with crochet thread for a little interest.

Other challenges:

• Stamp with Fun - card with a scene
• There She Goes - Cause a scene (project with a scene)
• 365 Cards - ad inspired (I was inspired by the colors - red, green and orange)
• Kaboodle Doodles - Fall theme (I used Fall colors)

Finished card size is 4.25" square. I hope you like it and TFL!
