For this month's Hop, our awesome team mate Sharri Seffens has given us this color combination:
Pumpkin Spice, Fresh Asparagus and Sweet Corn plus
neutral colors (white, ivory, black, and brown)
are also fine to incorporate.
To be sure you are on track, you should be coming from blog of the beautiful talent of Kay Simmons.
First up for me, is Theresa Momber's set "Under the Sea".
This month I decided to use some favorite techniques that I don't use often...and one is this first card - reverse masking! Using Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Squares I cut out the square and then set it over the card to sponge and stamp. Had stamped and masked my turtle...fun easy CAS card!Pumpkin Spice, Fresh Asparagus and Sweet Corn plus
neutral colors (white, ivory, black, and brown)
are also fine to incorporate.

this is another simple card - paper pieced the fish (i do paper piece a lot!)
aren't these fish wonderful!
next is my card using Melanie's Stately Flowers 4 (did you see her new release this month!...it's a must have!)and sentiment from Melanie's Holiday Basket. For this card I blocked and masked! almost forgot how to block and had to "think" LOL
colored with waterbrush and Memento's Potter Clay ink and finally caved in and had to use some Copics (Y08, YR31, YR02, RV42, E37, G99 - strange selection but I like it ok)
Now I was nervous stamping my sentiment directly in middle
and don't you just know I got it crooked!

Oh my - these are awesome! I love how you used non-fall images to create such pretty fall color cards.
Fabulous!! I love it that you made non-fall cards using this color combo. You turtle and fish cards are the perfect sea scenes and I think your flower card is absolutely beautiful!
Linda, these are amazing!! I love the techniques and so glad to be reminded of them. Your sentiment looks fantastic...perfectly placed.
Linda, I love your summer cards! They are all gorgeous, I really love the flowers card, it looks so pretty and painterly.
Beautiful cards! I really like the colors!
Linda all of your cards are delightful!!! I love how you used fall colors without making them fall cards. Very nicely done!
Oooooh, so gorgeous, Linda! Fabulous scenes and coloring with Under The Sea! I'm crazy in love with the hibiscus card. What a stunning design! Thank you for doing the hop for us! We are so lucky to have the CSS group!
What wonderful scenes you created on the first two cards and flower card is just stunning!!!
what gorgeous cards Linda- hard to chose a fav :-) but maybe the turtle one, I just love that set, Debi x
Beautiful cards

awesome cards. lovely paper piecing and the flowers are colored beautifully.
wonderful cards...great colors...Jan D., Florida
I can't even tell you paper pieced the fish! Love the flower card with the different blocks! So pretty!
Wow great cards love your color combos but my fav is the last one with the gorgeous flowers thanks for sharing
Linda, your cards are stunning!! I love your coloring on these, your layouts, and more.
They are gorgeous - can't take my eyes off them.
These are amazing, Linda, i love how you chose scalloped die for the reverse masking and these repeated hibiscus with the sentiment in the middle just blows me away! (Shh you don't have to point out a crooked sentiment if no one notices!)
What gorgeous creations, Linda each one a work of art :-)
Love all the shading you did on each card and no, your sentiment is not crooked. If it is, then I must be crooked because it looked straight to me.
Whoa Linda!! These are beautiful!!
GORGEOUS! All of them. Oh and NEVER point out any issues, more than half of us would never notice anyways, I bet! :)
Great cards.

So fun to see highlights of these amazing stamp sets! You did a great job, and it amazes me that these ladies just continue to crank out the most tremendous stamp sets - never skip a beat - they are all must haves!
Really like the stately flowers card!
Great cards. I especially loved the flower card!
What a pleasant surprise these cards were. I was expecting more fall themes, but you fulfilled the hop requirements in a new and great way.
Wow, beautiful cards! Love the sea theme of the first two ones.
WOw! such gorgeousness! Love all of these Linda!
Beautiful! Love the fresh feel.
Great techniques on these wonderful cards.
Amazing artistic creations. Just love your choice of images with these colors. Love the hisbiscus card and your sentiment looks perfect...straight to me. Best of the hop so far!!
What wonderful cards...great layouts and so refreshing to see something different even though I do love all the fall creations.
Absolutely love the underwater cards!!!
The saying may not be alined, but that is a gorgeous card.
As always your coloring is beautiful. I really like the sea scapes.
Reminds me of snorkling with the fishes and turtles. What fun.
Lovely coloring! And the sentiment on the flowers isn't THAT crooked - most folks wouldn't notice it. Thanks for sharing.
Payne, I KNOW you are extremely artistic but these knocked my carpal tunnel wrist support off LOL! Stop! They are so realistic!!!!!
The cards are all so pretty! Love the stately flowers card and how you repeated the flower...just beautiful!
Lovely cards and no I didn't notice the sentiment was off a tiny bit until I read your statement and had another look. Great job!
Beautiful cards - love the one with the flowers best!!!
Your cards are absolutely beautiful. I especially like the last card with the blocking and masking...just gorgeous.
They are all very beautiful!
Your cards are beautiful. Love them all. And the coloring is awesome.
Awesome cards!
These are all beautiful! I love the blocked flowers!
Your hibiscus card is drop dead gorgeous. Love the colors you used.
Wonderful work! I love the reverse masking you did on the first.
Just lovely and my point of view towards elements slightly off...just proves it is original and handmade!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the blocking technique.
These are all so pretty and who cares if something is a little off, just proves you are not a machine! Great work!
Linda, your cards are always incredibly gorgeous!!! You alway amaze me!! Love them!!!
what beautiful cards! Love 'em!
Very nice cards.

Gorgeous cards. I love the fish.
You cards are so fun. You are vrey creative. Thank you
Fabulous color combinations! Your coloring is beautiful!
The fish card really took my eye, especially with those cute bubbles! Also like the way you used the colors on the flowers card. It's beautiful!
Hi Linda,
I LOVE your card designs, but I must say the hibiscus card has caught my eye and I would love to know how to create this effect. I also saw when I went on your blog page the link to the song "because He lives I can face tomorrow" and now I have been singing this over and over again. What a great start to my day! Thank you for sharing and the great reminder of that song!
Veronica
I need to try this masking technique. These are beautiful!
Linda, what a brave use of the color challenge! Everyone thinks of blue for sea creature backgrounds. Your green looks really natural. Love the hibiscus card too.
Wonderful cards...the fish card is my favorite!!!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
Wow, great job with the reverse masking cards, cool effect with those stamps!! I love your flower card, cool layout of blocks & coloring.
Great layout and colour combination in the flower collection, this card could def be used for any occasion
loved the water cards!beautiful coloring on all the cards. nothing looks out of alignment. Great job
Love the use of so many techniques. I need to remember these, I tend to get in a rut. Great job with your coloring and paper piecing.
Beautiful scenes in these cards. Those fish look amazing.
I love Under The Sea stamp set, nice job showcasing the, Your fish look colored, that is some paper piecing
Love the hibiscus card. Always like to see new ideas. Thanks
Linda - these cards are fabulous! I love your scenes with the turtle and fish! I also love the designs and the techniques! You are a rock star!
Simply beautiful cards! I love them all, but the favorite is the Hibiscus flowers for me! And the sentiment does not look crooked to me, but I do have an eye problem so struggle with getting things on straight! As someone pointed out, the cards are handmade so may not be perfect! They are still wonderful! Corrine Ann
Love that you used non fall images for your beautiful cards!
Linda, these cards are fabulous! Love the techniques you used!
Lovely cards. Really like the Stately Flowers card.
Gorgeous....gorgeous...your flowers are awesome.
Beautiful cards. Love the Under the Sea cards and the added clear crystal accents for bubbles. Simple and creative hibiscus card. Excellent coloring technique.
Each of these cards is beautiful. The fish that are paper pieced sure look handpainted - great job selecting that paper! The reverse mask card is lovely - I must say it doesn't LOOK easy! The last card of the flowers is just gorgeous - and the sentiment doesn't look crooked to me. "Blocking" is very effective - I'll have to do some research on that. TFS
All are so beautiful, Linda! Especially love your fish - you've really made them come to life! Have never tried blocking and masking - will have to google that!
Love the yellow flowers! Sentiment looks great, right in the middle!
Great coloring! Beautiful work!
What great cards. I'm going to have to try the masking technique--it looks so different!
Wow--just love these cards!
