It’s Thursday and time for Sketch Challenge PPA221 from Pals Paper Arts. Some challenges have me scratching my head wondering what product to use.  Not this time.  This looks like the perfect sketch for an Autumn View.    I’ve been waiting for the right time to use this sheet from the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper Pack. I love the trees with their colorful fall leaves and those spooky peering eyes.

The window panes are created with my Big Shot (#113439) and a 1″ square from the Framelits Square Collection (#130921).  This is definitely a time to use the Magnetic Platform (#130658).  No catawampus (yes that’s a word in the dictionary) window panes on THIS card.

Magnetic Platform #130658

Look closely to see little sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim (#132983) glued on randomly.

Colors from the window view were used to create swag accent.  I pulled apart fibers from Burlap Ribbon (#132140), Two Tone Trim in White and Tangerine Tango (#135838), and a bit of Gold 1/8″ Ribbon (#134583).  Finally, I tied them all together with a piece of Gold Baker’s Twine (#132975).

One challenge to the swag was keeping the fibers separated.  They all seemed to droop in the same direction.  The 2-way Glue Pen (#100425) really came in handy for this.  Simply spread some of the glue under the swag fibers, in different areas and press the fibers down.  Perfect!

One more tool I really need to mention, the Craft Scissors (#108360).  These scissors are a MUST HAVE when trimming ribbon and cloth.  A lot of different scissors have crossed my path over the years. These beauties are sharp and well-balanced.

Give them a try.  I think you’ll like the investment.  As scissors go, this pair is a very economical, quality choice when compared to some of the higher priced competitors.  This is one tool that is hidden from my family!

Autumn View was a really fun and easy card to make.  In fact if you have a fear of stamping, this project is for you.

Come on out and play with us this week for Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge #221.
