Oh, I just love these huge buttons - I just got my first package yesterday. I didn't think I'd like them, but then I worked with them helping Tamye get her swaps ready for Founder's Circle....and I changed my mind! I just may have to get more!
Today's card covers two challenges....Hand Stamped Sentiments is looking for embossing - either with an embossing folder or powder - I used both because I love how the square lattice embossing folder embeds punched pieces into the background so that it's almost quilted. SUO Challenges are looking for fall colours.
I absolutely love fall colours - they're just so me. I miss the wide range of colours available in Ontario with the huge oaks and maples - however, on my walk to school this morning I noticed that Mountain Ash trees give a wonderful shade of red. So it's all good...and...since I walked home by myself, I did some major shuffling! Happy, happy, happy!
Hope you find something to bring a smile to your face today - and thanks for stopping by for a visit.
