Newton's Nook Fall Challenge/Simon Says NN Challenge

I've really been enjoying playing along with Newton's Nook's biweekly Inky Paws Challenge. It's also helping to build up my stash of cards, which I appreciate this time of year, as I'm getting ready for Halloween cards for the nieces and nephews, plus Christmas cards. I've been loving all the new releases, too... maybe a little too much. Anyway, this image isn't from a new release, but I thought sunflowers paired with fall paper could work for the theme of "fabulous fall." And, to add some excitement, there's a new Newton's Nook challenge over at Simon Says celebrating the NN Stamptember release! How fun!!

Here's my card:

Newton's Nook Designs - Inky Paws Challenge #05 Sketch Challenge

I actually discovered this neat little company when a friend's "pin" on Pinterest popped up a fun card with this stamp set on it...

So, I gave in, bought this cute set of stamps, and decided to play along in this month's Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge...

 Here's the sketch...
