I used 3 washi tapes, pulling the colors from the wreath sticker. Everything else on the card come from a darling sticker sheet from Simple Stories Harvest Lane that I bought last year. I also used sticker alphabet letters from Kelly Purkey and some enamel dots. I popped 3 of the stickers above my card - they just looked better that way. Though these aren't the usual fall colors, I like how this all came together! Now that I've "christened" this sheet, maybe I'll be able to use more of the stickers!
And here's a blast from the past.......while I was looking through my stash of stickers, I came across these Susan Branch ones that were a part of a scrapbooking kit sold on QVC, I believe. I'll bet they're at least 10 years old. This sprinkler full of flowers has always been one of my favorite images of Susan's, and I also found in that stash this checkered frame and even a sentiment to pull everything together!

I added the skinny red gingham washi tape and the heart button. Susan is still my favorite artist of the present day, and her handwritten books incorporating that art are among my treasures. If you aren't acquainted with her, her blog is a real treat! Just one visit and you'll be hooked!
