Autumn Blessings

 Here's my card for this month's Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge.  We're to use FALL as an optional theme this month - you don't have to ask me twice!!


supplies: cream, kraft, golds, and greens cardstock, 4 design papers from past Doodlebug 6" paper pads, The Greetery Sunflower Botanicuts dies, Simon Autumn Blessings die

I've used this sketch many times before, but never with such varied patterns.  I love the addition of aqua to traditional fall colors.  Even the 2 papers that appear solid in the background are tone-on-tone prints.  

For those of you who might ask, the left upper square is 1 1/2" square and the blue rectangle next to it is 2 1/2" X 1 1/2".  The length of the other 2 rectangles is 3 3/4".

I plead guilty to hoarding pattern papers - it's a disease!  So I'm thrilled to be able to use them for this fun monthly challenge!  Thanks so much, Darlene and Diane!!

Your sunflowers look incredible against the fabulous patterns of the rest of the card. Very beautifully done. I, too, am a hoarder of pattern papers... can't seem to stop myself buying more, especially when they are on sale! Must check out the challenge
