Grateful

I am sooooo in love with the Autumn Spice DS paper Stampin' UP! has in the Holiday Mini catalog.  I love fall colors, and every color in this delicious pack of paper is awesome!!!!!   Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Old Olive and More Mustard are beautiful together! This paper has texture and is nice and thick.  I have to get me another pack of this yummy stuff!  This is considered a "quilt card".  And as you may have seen on a previous post of mine using Apple Blossoms, I made the flower using my 2 3/8 inch scallop circle punch.

Ink:  Early Espresso

Full Moon

Here's another Halloween card.  I used sponge daubers (love them) to color the background.  The moon is just a punched out circle that is placed on top of the card stock.  Easy card to make.  I like how the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch turned out.  I just cut it in half. Enjoy, and have a great fall day!  Annette
