Happy Fall Card

Yay it's Fall - Card
I created this card with a free digital stamp called "gnome boy in a wood" by Birdie Brown. Birdie Brown also has a challenge going on until the end of October using this wonderful image. Check it out!

I colored my image with pencils and then blended with baby oil. This was my first attempt at doing this. Don't look too closely, I was a little heavy on the oil and there are a few bleed outs. I love how the oil takes away the pencil marks and smooths and blends the colors together. The card is embellished with a brown pompom, green arabaca ribbon, washi tape and two green half pearls.

I am entering this fun fall card in the following Challenges:
