CDS Sneak Peek - Charlie Harvest

Charlie loves his seasons - you saw him in the summer with his floaties and beach chair and he's back for Fall in the set, Charlie Harvest available September 1st from Clear Dollar Stamps. I have always been a big fan of Charlie and this set is no exception. I love the Fall theme to it with the pumpkins and the gourds. Each month, the DT is given a challenge to create a sample using no DP so this month, I used the wheat stamp from the set as well as my Pumpkin Harvest embossing folder to create my DP for this card. I'm loving this ribbon treatment too! Hope you all like the card as much as Charlie and I do.

For my second card, another DT challenge was to distress our card so for this one I've distressed the edges, sponged the edges of each layer of paper as well as sponged the white space around the image. I'm thinking I need to perfect sponging around images. Hint Hint Kim!!! Hehehehe.
