Now that Halloween is over, I'm ready to focus on some fall cards! How about you?
Okay, this has a leaf on it, but it still reads a bit Christmasy to me. I started with the photo inspiration from Just Us Girls:
Isn't that gorgeous? I went with Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White for the two main colors, with a healthy dose of Early Espresso woodgrain (like the frame on the mirror in the photo). I imagine the fancy linen napkins have a pretty print on them like the Cherry Cobbler patterned paper from Dashing Along, which was a promotion a month or two ago and this is the first time I've cut into it.
Anywha, I also used this week's sketch from Global Design Project:
I see other card artistes do a swirl of metallic thread behind other elements on their cards so I gave it a shot. I don't have the gold metallic thread, but I do have some 1mm gold cord from years ago from SU!, so I used that and I don't think I'm going to do it again in a hurry. It was a pain getting it to go kinda where I wanted it to and I don't think the cord looks as good as the thread. Harrumph.
I'll be entering this over at Inspire. Create as well:
I used the brand new just arrived at my house stamp set A Big Thank You, which was part of the SU! birthday sale last week (boy, that shipment got here faster than I expected it to!). And that "thanks" is the only bit of stamping on this whole card.
Here's a picture of my little one dressed up for Halloween yesterday, I think he's the cutest little wolf ever:

He is adorable!
I can see the Christmasyness of the card but it works well for fall too.
A lot of impact with your creation, and it's the Gold Foil leave and twine that makes it amazing. Thankyou for joining in with our Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges 'Thankful' Challenge #030. Denita x
