"Don't judge each day...

by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant" - Robert Louis Stevenson

 

I love this quote - it makes you stop and think about the seeds that you are planting everyday

This quote is also on the wonderful image Harvest Medley at From the Heart Stamps

I also use a piece of olive green cardstock for the banner

Image was colored with Copic markers:  E33, G21, G99, Y17, Y21, YG63, YR02, YR16

To finish the card I added flowers by Petaloo, jute and a brad in the center of the jute ribbon/bow

Harvest

Today kicks off a new fortnight challenge at Digi Haven.

This challenge is using a "Free" image that fits our theme: HARVEST

We have two great resources on the blog...

First, How-to-Play, where you will find the RULES

Next, Free Digis, where you will find blogs that offer free digis to use for our challenges.
 

 I actually have two cards to share with you today:

Image can be found  at Spectacular Printable

 

I had found this scarecrow image and really wanted to use it,

however this "Freebie" expired prior to the end of the challenge.

I emailed Lyn, the designer and asked if there was a possibility to have it available longer.

She agreed to do that for me, making it available through the end of this challenge.

If you have a minute to comment on her blog and say Thanks, that would be appreciated.

 

Lyn - Thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to share this image with us.

 

Supplies used:

Brown A2 card base, layered with cream, red and gingham papers

Copic markers to color my image, which I cut out after coloring

Staples and 3 brads and sentiment banner finish my card.

 

 

Now you can head to the Digi Haven blog:
