Season of Change

Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. We had a beautiful fall day here in Pittsburgh. Sunny and pleasant was the order of the day. I would like to put in my order for lots more days like this in September and October.

My card for today is one that I made for Thanksgiving card giving. I am also anticipating the upcoming gorgeous fall leaf display in Western PA. We will have incredible leaves of red, gold, mustard, browns and greens mixed with all these colors.

That's what I tried to recreate with my leaves. My stamp set if from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. It's the "season of change" set and it has a matching die. So it makes it super easy to cut the leaf image out. I love the pattern in this leaf set.

I stamped them in Stampin-Up's peach parfait and mellow moss then sponged with cherry cobbler and cajun craze.
I also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder "autumn type" for the vanilla background. Just for a bit of texture and to continue my fall theme.

My card base is early expresso a deep rich brown and the middle panels are peach parfait and cajun craze. I think these colors make a great fall combo.

My thankful sentiment is a rub-on and my leaf ribbon is from May Arts.

The layout for my card is the Wednesday sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

That's my card for today. So until next time.......God bless
