Sentimental Sundays Autumn Challenge






Good morning and welcome to a new challenge at Sentimental Sundays! This week we are making Autumn creations. Please drop by the main blog to see what the rest of the team has created and to check out this week's prize.




This is another Dearie Dolls image. There are so many cute images in Mary Ellen's store. Please consider taking a moment to pop over and welcome a new artist. I colored it with ProMarkers as usual. The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs Gratitude set.

I really loved this paper set from Bo Bunny called Delilah. It is basically fall colors, but with some pink thrown in which makes it a bit unique. The flatback pearls are from Pizzazz Aplenty.
