Happy Autumn! It's no secret to my regulars that I adore this season: the smell of woodsmoke, crisp blue skies, pumpkins, cider, doughnuts, football and soccer games.........and the beautiful colors of our changing maple trees. A couple of things coincided this week that inspired this card. I got an order from
Simon Says Stamp that included a beautiful set of clear leaf stamps and some gorgeous BoBunny paper pads in the colors of the season. And a few days ago my October CARDS magazine arrived and I saw a card there by
Tonya Dirk that immediately spoke to me. I thought these banners would be a great way to show off all the beautiful paper patterns. Here's what resulted:
supplies: cream cardstock as card base, design papers from BoBunny Apple Cider Collection and Very Vintage Double Dot Designs, Just Rite Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves, Hero Arts CL559 Greatest Gift (blessings), The Paper Company Studio Autumn Stamp Kit (autumn), raffia ribbon, orange button
Oh this card is gorgeous - lovely stamping and the perfect way to show off lots of delicious papers! Great job, Rx
