Warm Tuesday greetings, friends! It's finally starting to feel a bit like Fall here! Yay! Normally by this time of the year, our weather is well on the cold side...not the 70's and 80's we've been enjoying these past weeks.
Speaking of Fall, I have an Autumn card to share with you today...
Click on photo for a closer view.
Nothing is as warm and inviting as Autumn colors! Love 'em!
Before I tell you about my card, I have to say that there was NO patterned paper used on this! Can you believe it??!!? Yes, the self-proclaimed patterned paper hoarder collector (that's me) actually MADE patterned paper with stamps!! LOL!
I used the large wheat stamp (from the new Autumn Splendor set from Verve Stamps) and several Distress Inks to create the background. The quote (also from the Autumn Splendor set) is embossed, cut out (using Labels 4 Nesties) and shaded. The little American Almanac paper is from a pack of 7Gypsies tags. So that the focal image stood out a bit more, I added a piece of vellum (which was embossed using the Tim Holtz Notebook Texture Fade embossing folder).
Also, keep your eyes peeled here on my blog...because there just "might" be some very cool stuff being given away sometime in the very near future! Just sayin'...
