Used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches (FMS160) as the basis for this card using the tree stamp from Keep Your Chin Up. The Marigold ShinHan Touch Twin marker added a bit of autumn color to the leaves. Since I was also using the "choose your own orange" for Color My Heart Color Dare 117, a piece of Sunset patterned paper from the Paper Fundamentals was used along with a strip of Sunset chevron Washi Tape. Using Washi Tape is the current challenge on Seize the Birthday blog. For the background, Saddle cardstock was embossed using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. For an accent, a 1" circle of the Sunset Paper Fundamentals was covered with a round Base & Bling Glass Cover.

Card selected as the Sapphire Award Winner for Color Dare 117.
All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

Thanks, Susie. The background just needed something, and the woodgrain went great with the tree image.
DeleteFall-tastic card! Love the touch of colour in the tree and how you used the washi tape. Thank you for inspiring us at Color My Heart Challenge Blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna. I like how the Sunset and Saddle colors look together, and appreciate the "orange challenge" from Color My Heart.

You're so sweet Marie. Thank you!
DeleteFabulous autumn card! Using the same patterned paper for both the long panel and the small circular panel ties everything together so nicely. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karren. It was a fun card to create. :)
DeleteWhat a great way to use that sketch. Creating the embellishment with the patterned paper was very clever. Thank you for joining Take Heart Challenges.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Faith!
DeleteVery nice fall card. I really like all the patterns and the Base and Bling glass cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cat. I was hoping there wasn't too much of a pattern clash.
DeleteReally nice combination of patterns, colors and textures, Sheila. I love that you added the glass cabachon with the fundamentals paper behind it. It's a great use of them beyond the jewelry and using a "picture"! Thanks for joining the Color Dare.
