Happy...(checks calendar)...Saturday, y'all! Ryan was off school yesterday and I spent the whole day reminding myself that it was Friday, not Saturday. But now it really is Saturday : ) and I have a card to share!
The first time I looked through the holiday mini catalog, More Than Autumn was the bundle that hit my wishlist the fastest. Then I didn't order until the beginning of this month and it's taken me this long to use this bundle...and I didn't even use the coffee cup or the pie stamps! But I was inspired by this week's Freshly Made Sketch:
When I saw it, I had to think for a bit about what to do with those little shapes on the sketch. Then I saw the Color Throwdown:
And that's what made me think of the itty bitty apples in More Than Autumn : ) I used Real Red, Old Olive, and Boho Blue for my colors, and kept my card pretty CAS. I did pop up every other apple with a Dimensional, and added some Old Olive rhinestones to make sure it's obvious that I did include the green in this challenge. My rhinestones were from the retired Noble Peacock set, but you could easily use Stampin' Blends to color clear rhinestones.
Now we just need to convince autumn to come out of hiding. It's still been in the low 80s here and I am ReAdY for some fall weather! I keep manifesting fall in my craft room but so far I've only seen a couple of trees starting to change colors. Think fall thoughts, everyone.
Cheers!
