I haven’t had a chance to play over at Pals Paper Arts, so I really strived to do it this week, since I got my lovely new set, French Foliage. Here’s the inspiration photo they supplied:
I wanted to capture the more subtle colors of fall, as well as the texture in the girl’s sweater and hat; not sure if I did that, as my card looks a little “blah” to me:
I did some vintagey stuff, a la Ann, and used the colors So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz. I ran a piece of Elegant Soiree through the Square Lattice EF and roughed up the edges. The sentiment from Falling Leaves was stamped on a diecut tag, and I added a Vintage Brad and some trim. Thanks for visiting today and have a great weekend!

This is beautiful, LeAnne, not "blah" at all!! You've totally captured the photo, and I love how your panel looks like real burlap.
Very pretty card. I really like how subtle everything is and the background.
Great card
Morning LeAnne, Your card is super and you did a great job making it look like the subtle photo. It is gentle and sweet and I love the panel that looks like the sweater texture and the sentiment is really nice too!
Blessings and hugs, Martha

This is cute. I love the leafy background! I'm so tempted to get that set with all the wonderful samples I've seen with it (and I don't have any leaves)

Doesn't look blah to me, either! You've captured the look in the photo perfectly, as well as the feel of Fall--and Fall is definitely not blah.
