Sending you Sunshine
I appear to be in my yellow phase lately! Really, I'm beginning to look forward to fall, and golds and yellows are a good lead into it from summer. The challenge at CAS-ual Fridays this week is to use embossing. I decided to use these new (to me) Papertrey Ink sunflower stamps and after I'd stamped and cut them out, this houndstooth embossing folder seemed to be a good match to them, bringing to mind more textured clothing coming up as we get into fall......so here's my card:
such a bright sunny card...love all the embossing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fall card, Lin! Love the pretty colors and those fabulous sunflowers!
