Pick-up Happy Birthday

I copied my Sis' Judy's Pick-Up card to make this Birthday card, she found the idea at Lisa Young's site here.  I added a moon to mine...makes it kinda romantic! 

I used Old Olive CS for the landscape and Soft Suede CS for the card base.  The happy birthday is from the Perfect Punches Stamp Set and punched with the Large Oval Punch and sponged with Soft Suede Ink.  I made the moon by sponging a pice of Very Vanilla CS and punching with the 1-1/4" Round Punch to make a sliver of a moon.  The ribbon is Pear Pizzaz Stitched Poly.  The pick-up is from the Countryside Stamp Set on Water Color Paper and I colored it with pencils and the blender pen.

Water Color Pumpkin Card

I used the SU Water Color Paper for the first time. I used the Autumn Harvest Stamp Set for the pumpkins and leaves. Thinking of You from the Kind & Caring Thoughts Stamp Set. Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon with a little embelishment from the Hodgepodge Hardware set. I used the marking pens of in colors and some water color pencils along with the aqua painter for coloring the pumpkins and leaves. Sponged the edge of the oval with Thinking of You with Always Artichoke.
