Ahhhhhh.....Prismas.....

Hello all, & Happy Friday!! Hope you had a splendid day....it was absolutely beautiful here today. The calm before the storm, or so the weatherman says!

Well, after 2 cards in a row colored with Copics.....I had to go back to my comfort zone, lol. I do like coloring with the markers, but it seems to take me twice as long to get it "just right".




Since I've done a summer card & a winter card this week, I thought I'd break out a fall image!! This is one of High Hopes' new images, Milton's Fall Harvest. I was so happy to see the return of Milton....I just love this moose :) It took a while coloring them apples, lol....I wanted to get the shading exact....it was tough! The papers are SU's Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Naturals Ivory, & Basic Grey Infuse. The sentiment is from Magnolia....I added some flowers & TONS of leaves (it *is* fall, after all...even though all my leaves are green!)....& some stitching around the edges. Oh, & I distressed a few edges again....must have made another mistake that I needed to cover up, lol. I love the look of distressed edges....but I hate doing it. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. I hate the sound & I hate the feel....reminds me of my grandma's metal nail file! Ick!!




Here's a close up of Milton.....before we know it, it *will* be time to pick apples!! I know I just said this....but where does the time go??

I hope you all have a great weekend! I will be back Sunday with my High Hopes challenge card, but my posts may be sporadic after that for a week or so. Monday my grandma turns 90 & Wednesday my son turns 7. We have quite a bit of celebrating to do!! Oh, & we can't forget Jake & Elwood....they turn 14 on Thursday!! My fur babies are getting up there in age....I will have to buy them something nice for their special day as well :)
