TGIF Color Challenge #380 & A Fall Card

 Even though the weather is still quite warm here in North Carolina, Fall is really right around the corner, so I thought, "Why not start making Fall cards, right?"

This card was created for the  TGIF Challenges #380.

The beautiful color challenge selection reminds me of Fall.

Here's my creation:

Love the look of the embossed vellum over the Bermuda Bay card base.

All three of the required colors were used on the flowers, which left me with a not-so-busy background and showing more of the embossing.

Love this banner!  I stamped it with Bermuda Bay ink and the sentiment was a little trickier to add, as I had to curve it to fit in the banner.  The sentiment was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink.

The beautiful embellishments are Champagne Rhinestones and I couldn't resist adding Linen Thread around the pumpkin stem!

The taller pumpkin was adhered directly onto the Vellum and the floral pumpkin was adhered with dimensionals.

I kept the inside of the card really simple using Basic White and the image stamped with Bermuda Bay ink.

The same image was stamped on the envelope as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you enjoyed my Fall card.
