Wow...where did the time go? I thought I'd written a few more posts to be put in the queue, but I guess I only THOUGHT it. I actually have a ton of cards to show you, so I guess today will be the day I actually write a bunch of posts for the queue. Let's get started.
Here's another Autumn Days card that I made as a quick thank you note. Well, I suppose that was obvious based on the sentiment, huh? By the way, that sentiment came from the coordinating Autumn Harvest Rub-On package. I used a multitude of colors for the leaves, but it was so long ago that I can't remember exactly which ones. No doubt Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango were among them. Probably some Ruby Red and Pumpkin Pie too. I just love the fall...the colors are so gorgeous!
This next card I made for one of the pastors at my church in honor of Pastor Appreciation Month. I got a little daring and threw in the non-traditional (as far as fall is concerned) Elegant Eggplant color. The picture doesn't quite do it justice, but the combination is really striking. I think if I had to modify the card in some way, it would be to change the Crushed Curry layer. I might change that to Elegant Eggplant. Since it was for a man, I didn't feel too comfortable putting a lot of purple on the page, even though it's a very rich purple. Aside from using the leaf from Autumn Days, I used the large image from Baroque Motifs (one of my all-time favorites!) and the sentiment from Thoughts & Prayers.
I love the Baroque Motif card with the autumn colors....I never would have thought of that! And the other thank you card with the piles of leaves? Hey, it reminded me of the scene in our yard yesterday afternoon! We got the whole front yard raked up and dragged all the leaves to the compost pile in the back....I bet the yard looked great for at least 20 minutes before the neighbors' leaves came blowing down the street! lol! When the rain started last night my husband rolled over and said, "uh oh....I bet the rest of those leaves are coming down now with the rain!". Personally I see nothing wrong with letting them all just pile up until the trees are bare and then dealing with them but my husband is an outdoor overachiever....what can I say?
Great to see your post and especially to see the cute cards you shared! Are you planning on Phoenix in January? Jan
