Fall is here by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday to you!  

Fall is finally here in New England, I'm enjoying the lovely fall weather.  

So, I decided to share a couple of cards using fall colors.

First up, Rockin' Ruby (SKU# 4210), what a better way to enjoy the weather with her rocking chair?  I did a little bit of paper piecing for her shirt, coloring her with Copic markers, and cut her out and adhered with some foam dots, viola!

And here is the adorable Pearl (SKU# K1703), got to love those polka dots?  I started by creating the background with some gelatos and watercolor card stock, then I added a die cut tree which was distressed with distress ink pads, colored Pearl with Copic markers, and again adhered with foam dots.

I hope you like them and thank by stopping by!
