Winter Marci in Fall colors

Howdy La-La fans, how is everyone today? I have to admit, it's been one heck of a week trying to get Jackson used to his new big-boy bed...and I'm exhausted! But...I know we'll get there!! In the meantime, I have found some time to keep playing with my wonderful Marci and Luka stamps. I was totally inspired by this card from Karen, because I just loved the colors she used, and I remembered I had this fabulous dp from my LSS (sorry, can't remember who makes it just now!) that would be perfect.

I stamped Winter Marci on a perfect panel from MFT, then stamped her again on the reverse side of this amazing floral print for the linen look burgundy to paper piece her coat and hat. I then used my W1 and W3 to add some shading to her coat - that works like a charm!! I colored in the rest of her, cut out the pieces and put her all together. Then, I cut her out with my label bazillion nestie (I can't keep track of anything these days!) and went to town with my sponges and some creamy caramel and true thyme inks.

I went for a very simple layout, and just added a strip of the reverse paper with some lace across the card, hten started playing wtih different buttons. I hadn't quite finished when my good friend and dealer Michelle came over with my jumbo button share from SU! It was EXACTLY what I needed!!

I finished off the inside with some more dp and a great SU! stamped greeting, and voila! Perfect fall bday card! So...what have YOU been creating with your LaLa Land stamps?? We'd love to see your creations, so please link them up on the LLLC blog here, and you could win some LaLa Loot! Have a fabulous day!
