True Friends . . .

Hello Friends

Fall is upon us but we all know it won't be long before the 'white stuff' is flying, and since I enjoy making Fall themed cards (love those colors) I wanted to play along in a few challenge I spotted over on Paper Playful.  So here we go . . . 

I noticed a few very old wood block stamps in my stash and that's where this all started!  First is the Inkadinkado swirly stamp which I've used to create my background and my sentiment stamp is by stampingsensations.com (also very old & no longer in business).  I've had both of these stamps in my stash for YEARS.

 

 I have used 3 Tim Holtz distress oxide inks on my swirly stamp to stamp & create my background panel.  I then ran it through a Fall Leaves embossing folder.  After cutting my base card, I used the scraps and cut a few narrow strips to use for my design.  A Tutti Designs Scallop Stitched Rectangle die was used to die cut my sentiment panel.  Using a few other scraps, I die cut a few maple leaves to coordinate with the background embossing.

VIOLA!

Here's a closer image of the embossing in case you can't see it in the above photo . . .

 I'm very pleased with the outcome and hope you like it too!
