I'm a bit late posting last week's Bloggers Challenge since I was out of town, but better late than never! The challenge for the week was to use something for inspiration, like a magazine ad, furniture, clothing, painting, etc.
I have a charm pack of 5" squares by Moda called Fall Back in Time. It's a series of prints done in fresh shades of autumn.
I made this card using Rosie's Roadshow stamps with inspiration from the colors in the fabric. First I stamped Lena the duck and masked her with a post-it note. Then I stamped the pumpkins slightly over-top of Lena to make it look like she's sitting on the pumpkin. I think she's pretty darn cute propped there! I painted the image with watercolors.
I found this little sample image of the fabric series online at FatQuarter.com. They seem to carry most, if not all, of this line. Ooooh, ahhh!! Now I just have to decide what I want to do with all of the fabric squares!
Be sure to check out the other Bloggers' Challenge projects too! You'll find all the participating bloggers in a list on the right side of my blog.
EXCELLENT card from an excellent source of inspiration!! Great job and TFS.

This is so cute! I love how the duck is just has that 'look' like he is relaxing and wondering when he should start walking home. Just love it!

So cute! I think the ducks are my favorite, but I love the new bears too.
I just love Rosie's stamps! She even put some of my cards in her Friends gallery - very exciting.

Super Cute Anna, Did you use actual fabric on your card? I love the pattern and the way you made the little duck sit on the pumpkins is so adorable. Ida

Great card Anna. You really are an inspiration for me to practice my watercolors and shading techniques. You images are always so very lifelike and spot on with shading. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
