Happy fall ~ Cupcake's Creations

Happy fall 34

Hi there! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have a couple of projects to share. First up is a 16" x 20" canvas that I painted. I'm practicing so I can paint a couple of 24" x 36" canvas's for my home.

To begin, I collaged pages from an old Webster's dictionary onto the canvas:

then I had a lot of fun painting the background and poppies:

I also made a card in celebration of fall featuring a PTI Friendship Jar full of Fall goodness:

For color inspiration for both projects, I joined along with the current Colour Me challenge:

For card sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge:

Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great week!
Be Sweet ;)
