Happy Wednesday

I tell you, I feel fall in the air.  Something about the kids going back to school, the chill in the morning air and the fact it is still DARK when I have to get everyone up to get ready for school reminds me that Fall is just around the corner.  What happened to the last few weeks of summer ;o(.  We are in day three of back to school and so far so good, but having to keep up with all three of my kids, their homework, and just normal day to day things has me dragging along today!  Thank goodness for the extra shot of espresso in my latte this morning, LOL.

Anyway, with Fall upon us I needed to make another card for my co-worker's 25th anniversary and I was inspired by all the rich colors of fall.  I recently received my order of Papertrey Ink paper and new stamps and I just can't believe how amazing this stuff is.  The quality of the paper exceeds my expectation.  I wanted this card to be a little more elegant and classy with the embossed ivory and rich fall colors, so this is what I came up with...

All products are Papertrey ink with unless otherwise specified.  I used the vintage cream cardstock and embossed it with the new Mehndi Medallion Impression Plate and adhered the 4-1/4" square to a 4-1/2" piece of Scarlet Jewel along with some of the Dark Chocolate ribbon.  My card base is 4-3/4" of the dark choclate cardstock.  Using the Fillable Frames die and stamp set, I cut out and stamped my sentiment onto vintage cream as well then used dimensionals to attach it to the front of the card.  The inks I used were by Jenni Bowlin (love these inks) in Cough Syrup and Brown Sugar.  I really like how nice this card turned out and again the thickness of the papers made such a huge imact on the feel and quality of the card.

Have a great day everyone!
