Happy Fall!

Gorgeous fall colors!


Happy Fall!

Hi friends!  It's a perfect fall day here in NW Ohio!  As soon as I post this, I'm going out for a walk.  Don't you love fall?  I sure do!  It's a welcome relief from those hot humid summer days. 

What a lovely color challenge over at  The Play Date Cafe, Happy 100th!!!.   I'm also entering this card over at Crafts 4 eternity.  I chose to use the pumpkin and leaf stamps from Lawn Fawn.  I colored the pumpkin with a yellow copic marker first and then with orange.  A touch of the yellow color shone through on certain areas.  I added a dimensional behind the pumpkin. I used the leaf stamps for the borders.  I used my cricut machine for the fall letters.  Twine was added and placed just so.  Gems and border trim added to finish off the card.  Thanks so much for stopping here today!  Hope you enjoy your fall day, take care and hugs!!:-))

    Maria, this is such a happy Fall card! I love how the orange twine follows along with the circles. And that orange leaf border / frame is really pretty! So many options with that! I'm glad you had time to play with us for our 100th challenge at The Cafe. Hugs to you!

    We had to wear jackets tonight for the first time this season (north Georgia), and the cooler weather felt really good. Great coloring on that pumpkin. I like the bits of yellow shining through. Cute.

    A really beautiful, bright, and cheerful Fall card. If that doesn't get the Fall juices going, nothing will!
