Embellishment Challenge at CDAC

It's a beautiful Sunday here in SE Michigan. It's just "barely" chilly and so far the sun is making the colorful foilage look absolutely brilliant! It smells so good outside with the wonderful scents of fall in the air. This is my favorite time of year!
Today I'm posting a card I made with the image that's offered for us to use for this challenge over at CDAC. Her name is "Louise" and the artist is Guylou from "Guylou's Inimitability". There are lots of fab images to choose from over at her store. Just click on the badge on my sidebar to browse around the store. This challenge is to use buttons and bows. Easy Peasy?! I only used one of each....I guess that's okay. I saw this sketch someplace in my bloggy travels, but at the time I wasn't recording where I was finding things. This is the first time I've used the sketch. I think it's really different. My papers are Blue Bayou, Pumpkin Pie, and Pretty in Pink from S.U. I stamped the blue and orange in white craft ink with rubber from S.U. The bright pink is from my stash, and was punched with MS for the horizontal band. Ribbon and gems are from the stash also.

Louise is colored with copics, and I used white gel pen for highlights in her hair and boots. The sentiment is a rub-on from S.U. I love her large eyes!

The flower was drawn colored and cut out by myself. I layered it on a scalloped circle in Blue Bayou. The center of the flower has a pink stamped flower from S.U. with a Blue Bayou button also from S.U. I used a "Pick a Petal" stamp from S.U. with Blue Bayou ink and colored the inside of the petals with green Copics for the large petals around the flower.
And below is the inside of the card. I'll add the sentiment in here when I'm ready to send it.

That's it for today. Thanks for visiting. I hope you all are having as gorgeous a day as it is here, and are enjoying all the sights and scents and sounds of Autumn. Have a blessed Sabath.
