harvest blessings...

Hello!  Popping in on this rainy afternoon here in the PNW with a super simple card for a couple of challenges:  Color Throwdown and CAS(E) this Sketch.   I always enjoy playing along with CTD and try not to miss their challenges.    The CTD colors are not ones that I would put together, but that is the fun of playing along with their challenges... working with colors in ways you never thought of!  As I was thinking about how to use the colors I came across a leaf that I had die cut several months ago with a die from a Stampin Up! set.  It wasn't in any of the colors from the challenge, but it gave me the idea to use that die for my card.  I found three shades of cardstock in the CTD colors and die cut a leaf from each and then arranged them on my card base to my liking.  Once I had my layout I adhered them with my favorite glue... Nuvo Deluxe.    Once the leaves were set I placed the card in my stamping tool, arranged the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Fall Foliage stamp set and then stamped it in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne.  I thought the card looked a bit plain so I added some Pretty Pink Posh clear jewels that I actually adhered upside down.  I have found that when I have adhered the clear jewels to white or off white cardstock the jewels don't sparkle, but look rather cloudy.  I don't like that look, but adhering them upside down did the trick (at least in person, lol!).

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
