Hey, kids! How's it going today? It was rain, rain, rain all yesterday afternoon, and cold to boot, but I got in my craft cave and I made this!
My mother-in-law's birthday is later this month, hence the fall leaf, and her favorite color is green, hence the green leaf. And a bit of glitter just because why not. This is, I believe, the first time I've used Merry Merlot too.
I started with this week's CASE the Designer challenge from Global Design Project:
Louise's card is all soft and delicate with pale colors and mine...is not ;) I kept the basic layout and the idea of leaves/foliage for the main image; my card base and the stripey pattern are pretty light, but I think it balances out with the leaves and the bit of Merry Merlot.
I also used the inspiration photo from Fusion for my colors:
I picked out Sahara Sand because that's what's in the background, some Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry for my fall leaf, and the aforementioned Merry Merlot for the wine bottle. But I just loved that pop of green on the photo, and that's why I used green on my card. Plus, MIL's favorite color.
Hope you have a great day!

Ooo, I love that Merlot color. I think it is the "it" color for the season. I bought myself a new dress and shoes to match in that color. I really like it.
The card is beautiful and I'm sure Nancy will love it!!!
So perfect for fall! Great colors! Glad you joined us at Fusion!
