Be Grateful

I just love the fall. I live in the desert in California and our fall is literally 2 days. The leaves change color and then within two days the wind blows them right off! UGH! Due to this I am always grateful for when friends post their amazing fall pictures, especially my cousin Debbie!

 

 

So I am in the mood for fall after 3 months of 105*+ everyday. I signed up for a swap on Craft Therapy (a Facebook group). It had to be fall or Thanksgiving and must have purple in it. I knew which stamp to grab...I just love So Grateful B1395. It is beautiful and love the different layers.

 

I used Autumn Terracotta Z2101 for the pumpkin and the phrase. Smokey Plum Z2147 is the words over the pumpkin and the stem is Cocoa Z2114.  

 

 

 

 

The leaves are stamped with Olive Z2137.

I mounted the images on a Smokey Plum cardstock that I distressed with black ink and used hand dyed (not by me) seam ribbon adhered to a creamy patterned paper that has some Autumn Terracotta and some Smokey Plum look to it. I know it is CTMH but I think it is from the paper pack Bliss. Do not quote me on that!

 

I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did! Please leave a comment below. Your feedback and thoughts are well appreciated!
