Hi!
How is your Monday moving? It hasn't been too bad, here!
I have a card to share with you today that I made for this week's Play Date Cafe Color Challenge. A HUGE congratulations to PDCC who is celebrating their 100th challenge this week! How awesome is that!
We have another gorgeous color story this week, and one that is sure to turn your thoughts to fall!
I was so happy for this inspiration, as it gave me a chance to make a card I thought about during the Waltzingmouse release last week but didn't have enough time to make.
Fussy cutting heaven!
I started with a background stamped with the herringbone pattern from Little Box Labels. I stamped the inked up image onto scratch paper first so that the impression wasn't so dark. I love to stamp these images with just light pressure so that they are a little splotchy. I know that might not make sense, but I love the vintage country faded look they have!
The sentiment is a combination from the newly released Say It Loud: Winter Holiday. I stamped it onto cream cardstock and stitched it to my patterned base.
The leaves are from Blessed by You. I stamped a bunch and then cut them out while I watched TV. :) They were the last thing to be added to the card, and I fussed and moved them around a lot before I found an orientation I liked. I couldn't resist adding the little acorns - I don't know what it is about acorns, but I just think they are so darned cute!
Thank you for visiting me here today, please be sure to stop over to the Play Date Cafe and give them a little love and for lots of inspiration in return!
Take care!
