Fall Colors

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Here with another challenge for the Papercraft Star.  There are changes going on at the Papercraft Star which you can read about here.  Although there are some changes starting today our challenge is still in full swing.  This week we challenge you to use fall colors in your projects.  Since I've been volunteering at my son's school for their annual Fall Fest, I thought this would be a perfect time to bust out some fall inspired thank you cards for all the wonderful sponsors we had.  This card started out with a shimmery base.  I then matted some fall papers from SU (retired).  I then matted a piece of scrap paper with some Early Espresso and added a leaf cut with using "Wild Card" Cricut cartridge.  I stamped a frame  stamp from Taylored Expression with some Studio G pigment ink and cut it with the coordinating die.  The sentiment was stamped in Early Expresso, and a simple seam binding bow.  Now it is your turn.  What will you make using "fall colors"?  I look forward to seeing everyone's creativity.

    1. Hi Larissa, No I don't have either of those. I tend to just use my sewing machine to put designs on my cards. I did see that my Archivers has the Sew Easy. The samples looked cute.
