Hello Friends ... how is your week going?
I've had some much needed crafting time this week and took a break from what NEEDED to be done and created a card just for fun and a helpful way to give my mojo a kick start!
Here's a quick card I created for the new challenge over on the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge blog. Here are the colors they are working with today.
With Fall quickly approaching, the color trio caught my attention while looking through the challenges over on Paper Playful and just knew I wanted to play along. CAS is still somewhat of a challenge for me (even though I co-own a CAS challenge blog myself lol) so I could use the inspiration & practice.
Looking through my many flowers/leaves stamp drawers I came across a stamp set I had never used before so figured it was time! That is the stamp, die & border embossing folder set from Crafters Companion. It's a Signature Collection by Sara Davies called Autumn Morning.
Unfortunately, I see this item has been discontinued & Out of Stock.
That's what happens when I hold onto things for too long before using them ... you might still find it out on Ebay or something.
Challenges to share in:
Retro Rubber Challenge #212 - Anything Goes
(this stamp set is at least 4-5 years old)
Addicted to CAS Challenge #243 - Shapes (leaves)
NBUS Challenge #53
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Have a wonderful remainder of your week!
As always ...
What great Fall colors, Darlene, and fun embossing, too! I love Autumn leaves! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful border. I love when the autumn cards start coming along. Still loving summer for now, though.
ReplyDeleteDarlete, I saw your card over at Retro Rubber and wanted to come over and comment. I love the fall colors. The wheat is definitely one that my collection could use. I love your leaves too. Cute card! :)
