when I count my Blessings... 22

Hi! I'm really enjoying stamping again especially clean and simple cards. I'm trying to remain disciplined and use the stamp sets that I have in my stash rather but my wish list keeps getting longer and longer ;) 

I'm joining along with this week's PTI Make It Monday challenge where Ashley shared with us 3 ways to use pumpkins and dies. Ashley has challenged us to use our pumpkins and dies in a Traditional, Unique or Trendy way. I opted for a Traditional style.

I combined two of my favorite PTI stamp sets: Fall Abundance and Mat Stack 4 Collection to create my card:

For card sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the current sketch at The Paper Players challenge:

and for colour inspiration, I'm joining along with the current ColourQ challenge:

Today I have an 8" x 8" painting to share featuring a little Tufted Titmouse:

When I repaint him, I would like to move him a bit more away from the left edge and maybe I'll add snow:

For inspiration, I referred to the beautiful photo taken by the talented photographer Rodney Campbell:

I'm linking my painting to the Paint Party Friday site:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great day / evening!
Be Sweet ;)
