Happy Fall--Crazy 4 Challenges #3

It's Crazy 4 Challenges time again!!! And we have another rockin' sketch for you from Cindy Haffner. We are thrilled with the response and participation we've gotten--thanks for playing along with us!!

This is such a fun sketch--I know I'll be using this one again and again!!! I decided to make a fall card for this challenge, so I brought out my First Fruits set from PTI. I never got it inked up last year, so it was top priority for this year :)

I inked the wheat image with Really Rust and Close To Cocoa and stamped it on Very Vanilla. Then I stamped the little twine image twice, once with the main image and once to cut out, then popped that one up on a 3M foam square and added a real twine bow. Patterned paper is from the First Fruits collection by PTI and card stock is Chocolate Chip and Really Rust. I did some distressing on each element, both with Tea Dye Ranger Distress Ink and a sanding block, then stitched around. The small brown buttons are Vintage buttons from PTI and the tan one was from my stash, all tied on with twine from PTI. The sentiment was stamped on Very Vanilla with Close To Cocoa and is from the Autumn Tags set by PTI, cut/embossed with a Spellbinders tag die, and tied on with PTI's twine.

NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of the Crazy4Challenges team!
