Friend of Mine...

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Hello, Friends!!! (I think of my daughter's Kindergarten teacher everytime I write that! I DO realize you're grown-ups!) It's another gorgeous Fall day here in Brazil, IN!! So I've used one of my all time FAVORITE crafting tools for today's card...my Leaf Print dies from Papertrey Ink...
I love cutting felt and burlap from them in the Fall...they just give a card a warm, cozy feel, don't ya think? I've combined two challenges for this card...the Color Trends with Die Cuts challenge from Embellish, and the October sketch challenge from The Craft's Meow (did you see their last release?!?)...

I've used the pretty Friend of Mine sentiment from TCM. I just love the font with it's pretty details. I embossed it on a Martha Stewart tag and added my leaves, hand-dyed ribbon and a pretty button. And I can't forget the twine from my cream burlap (I may never buy twine again!!)...
I guess that's pretty much it. Simple sketch...subtle colors...that came together just fine!
Thanks so much for stopping! Enjoy your weekend!!

  7. Oh Geri, this is beautiful!! The subtle colour scheme is just stunning, and I love the way you used that sketch - the leaves are the perfect touch. I bought the stamps and dies for my friend's wedding invites, and it surprises me what a go-to they have become. This is just gorgeous!
