Happy Tuesday, peeps! Hope you're having a good week so far! It definitely does not feel like August here in SE PA, but that's fine with me! Since it feels more fall-like, I decided to play with some fall images from the new Iconic Imagery bundle. I used the colors from Hand-Stamped Sentiments (gulp, Wild Wheat is in there!) as well as the fun sketch from CAS Colour & Sketches:
So here we go:
I diecut three leaves from Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped them with the challenge colors, stamping off for the centers. A few little sprigs from the same die set were cut with matching colors, tucked behind each leaf on a Spotlight on Nature circle...the one that looks like a paper plate! Not sure if I am happy with that look but it is what it is! I also embossed another Vanilla panel with the Leaf Fall embossing folder to add to the fall feel:
The sentiment is from Choose Happy and it just happens to fit in the wee little banner die featured in Iconic Imagery as well! Serentipitous! A few more leaves and a pretty sentiment from Sketched Butterflies went on the inside:
Off to the library to get some more books! I just read a great book and I must say that I LOVED it! It was called Harry's Trees by Jon Cohen....very cleverly done, intriguing story, twists and turns, and a happy ending! I also read The Littlest Library by Poppy Alexander! It was cute too!
Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, this is such a beautiful way to use those colors - before long you'll be a BIG fan of that wheat, I'm sure of it! Funny that the detail reminds you of paper plates - I always think pie because my mom crimped her crusts with a fork!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS embossing!

Your card is fun! and both books sound like would be a fun read. My "want to read" list is sooooo long! I have been reading heavy novels about Civil War, Mexican cartels, Cambodian garbage dump and WW2. I need something light now! Yours sound just right!! Thank you for sharing the titles.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful Fall card, indeed! Love how you used the colors to make such a pretty card! Well done on the challenge. After it being so hot the last few months this cool air is kind of a shock to the system but very much welcomed! Hope your enjoying it!
