It wasn't as grey and rainy as I hoped it would be today - just really humid. Yuck. Hopefully once TS Maria goes by tomorrow the humidity will lift. I managed to get into the Craft Cave for a bit this afternoon and put together a card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge - a fall themed card using paper piecing. I think SU's Cajun Craze is a perfect fall colour and goes really well with the Basic Grey papers. Short and sweet for now. I'll be back a bit later with another challenge card! Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Cajun Craze) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Mandarin & Citrus from Ambrosia collection) Basic Grey
Stamps: (Leaf from When I Am With You - Aug 2010 KOM) Unity Stamp Co, (Letters from Smitty's ABCs) Lawn Fawn
Ink: (Chocolate Chip, Early Espresso) Stampin' Up
Embroidery Floss: Janlyn
A perfect fall card -- beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI love love love the fall card with the stitching! Did you use a Sew Easy tool or did you just free hand the stitches? Either way, you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Yeah, I'm keeping the e-collar on RJ until he's completely healed and the scab falls off. I guess I'm being over cautious, but better safe than sorry!
