Grateful

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week we are featuring FALL CARDS.



As I'm sure you know by now, LIGHTHEARTED LEAVES is my most favorite fall stamp set.  So with it sitting on my desk already, it was perfect for today's card.

I went for an elegant look with earthy colors.

The leaf and the "grateful" die cut were easy to come up with, but I didn't quite know what I wanted to put them on.  I ended up with a banner made up of a piece of INTO THE WOODS designer paper (green dots design) and a piece of vellum layered on top.  The vellum muted the designer paper so the "grateful" die cut didn't get lost.

The colors worked together beautifully!  I love the Pear Pizzaz leaf stamped with Mossy Meadow, it was bold yet didn't overpower the sentiment in Early Espresso cardstock.  I think the vellum played a nice part too and softened the whole look.  A few gold sequins added the finishing touch and completed the look I was going for.  I don't know what I ever did without sequins, I can't make a card without them anymore!!
