Celebrate . . .

Hello dear friends!

I'm excited to share a creation with you today that was created

for my Guest Designer spot over on the Crafty Boots Challenge Blog.

Thanks to Dionne and Crafty Boots for the invitation!

The challenge is

AUTUMN IS IN THE AIR

You'll want to be sure and pop on over ... check out the amazing inspiration from the team and then join in the fun!  Who doesn't like this time of the year when the air is crisp, leaves are gorgeous and the hint of the holidays is right around the corner!

Here's what I've created  ... hope you like it!

This card is really pretty CAS in design for me but I love how it came together.

I have several embossing folders that I never think to use but today I started looking through them and found this Darice embossing folder with the leafy design and it brought Fall to mind right away ... so that was my starting point.

I also knew I wanted a POP of FALL color so quickly sponged a piece of white card stock with Tim Holtz distress inks Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade and Berries to use for cutting out my Poppystamps 'Monterey Vine' die.

Although it looks black, the mating and word color is actually a dark forest green.

I die cut the Avery Elle 'Sentimentals' die from white card stock then colored it using Spectrum Noir alcohol marker DG4.  A few fall colored sequins and VIOLA!
