MFP September Blog Hop - Autumn Splendor

Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's 
   September Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are
Buried Treasure Featured September 25
Going Batty Featured September 26
Autumn Splendor Featured September 27
Tweet That Featured September 28


Autumn Splendor is my favourite set this month and my first card uses the sketch SC402.  I used a new to me technique on the vertical strip using a highlighter pen and distress ink.  The main image was coloured with Copics.  I used an M-bossabilities folder on the horizontal panel.  I am entering this card in the Sentimental Sundays challenge.

My second card is a thank you card.  It is going to the carers in the home where my Mother in Law was while we were in the USA enjoying ourselves a few weeks ago - the carers did a brilliant job.  Again it was coloured with Copic markers.  2 stencils were used on the background and 2 different coloured distress inks.
