Control Freaks Blog Hop - Happy Fall

 

Welcome to the October Control Freaks Blog Hop featuring cards that scream HAPPY FALL!!! I love fall - it's my second favorite season and living in Wisconsin has given me an incredible appreciation for the outdoors and all that fall has to offer in the gorgeous color display that our trees are showing off right now!

Here's the card I created with the COLORFUL SEASONS bundle. I love the bold leaf image and the detailed leaf image in this set. And of course the font on the greetings is right up my alley! You'll find a video tutorial posted a little later tonight - once you've completed the blog hop - click on the HOME button at the top of my blog and you'll find the video.

  

I used Calypso Coral, Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive to stamp the leaves on a layer of Whisper White cardstock. Then I stamped the greeting in Blackberry Bliss. I love that the SEASONAL LAYERS THINLITS has not only a detailed die for the leaf but also a solid image to layer behind it. The Gold Glimmer paper layered on a solid Blackberry Bliss is a big WOW factor - don't you think?

  

Dimensions:

• Crumb Cake 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
• Blackberry Bliss 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
• Whisper White 3 3/4" x 5"

Here's what I added to the inside - Life is a Beautiful Thing....but don't forget to BREATHE!

 

Here's a picture of all the supplies used to make this card:

Gorgeous! I love the leave collage, but my favorite part is the inside! I always forget about stamping on the inside! I like how you included a few leaves there too!
