Fall Hello

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week the challenge is "Thankful for Fall".  You can use a fall theme, thanks, Thanksgiving, or something else related to the thankful or fall.  So fun!!

And here is the card I created:
As so often happens with me, I started my card with a sketch (see the challenges below) and then went about making it happen.  I used a bunch of scraps from a fall-themed paper pack.  One little strip down the side and the tag was made with a bunch of already cut strips.  I love making tags with this technique; so fun!!  I started by stamping the fern image with a caramel ink on kraft card stock.  Then I pieced my tag together and die cut it.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut the pumpkin and adhered it to the tag with some dimension.  I stuck some some die cut sprigs behind it that had been in my bits and pieces stash for a while.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment with a circle die and finished the card off with a bit of twine and some gold sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this challenge.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.
