Good Afternoon! I hope you all are feeling as happy as I am! We are FINALLY getting some much needed sunshine here in northeast Ohio :) I do have to work today but then I'm off for a few. All in All I'm excited for a crafty, sunshiny week, whoo hoo!!
Today I have a card for The Play Date Cafe's weekly challenge. Boy was it a challenge, check out these colors
I love rich fall colors but often times I don't know what to do with them. Here is what I cam up with
The whole card is pretty simple. I colored my background panel with brushed corduroy, vintage photo, and walnut stain. To add some interest I flicked some water I top. Once dry I mounted it to a white card base.
I cut a 1 1/4 x 4 strip and colored it with weathered wood, stormy sky, and chipped sapphire. I added a scallop edge (EK Success) and adhered it to the brown panel.
I cut two circles out of white card stock, leaving the nestabilities in place I ink with antique linen. I stamped the flowers (Hero Arts, Delicate blossoms) on one circle and again on white cardstock. I trimmed the second flowers out and colored with barn door, fired brick, and aged mahogany. I adhered them flat the the lowers stamped on the circle. The sentiment is from Hero Arts, Classic Messages stamped in walnut stain. I popped the circles up on foam and added some stardust stickles to complete.
Thanks for dropping in! Wishing you some sunshine where ever you are :)
Lovely card. Saw it on the HA Flickr group and had to pop over to say how much I loved it.
