Autumn Thank You

Hey there gang.  I have a simple fall card today.  One of our former professors and now he's a friend  - spoke to our Volunteer leaders at a training time this weekend and I wanted to say thank you to him for doing that for us...so I needed a simple yet more masculine thank you.   Today's Color Challenge colors at Splitcoaststampers of Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango and So Saffron seemed a good fit for an autumn card.


Simple straight up stamping (can you believe it?  I don't often have a card without coloring, I almost don't know what to do with it!).  I used 2 Verve sets, the leaves and sentiment from Dream Big, and the smaller more delicate leaf image from Great Friend.  I used Spellbinders Labels 17 and 16, and some cool nailheads as accent twisting them around the rounded corners.

And I used this Verve Release sketch....


Inside my husband says we'll put a Tim Horton's Gift Card :)  in Canada that is synonymous for good coffee :)  Thanks again for dropping by today everyone.  I love it (and really appreciate it) when you do!


Recipe:  Stamps:  Verve - Dream Big, Great Friend;  Ink:  Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango;  Paper:  Tangerine Tango, Rich Razzleberry Patterns DSP, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla;  Accessories:  Big Shot, Labels 16 and 17 Nestabilities, Rich Razzleberry Grosgrain Ribbon, Irridescent ribbon, Light Gold Nailheads, Piercer, Dimensionals, Corner Rounder.
