Ok, so I've been away for the last couple of weeks~~we went back to PA, NY and MA for more visiting with friends and relatives. Miss you all so much! Even though we had our Netbook Computer with us, the WIFI connections were not always the best. I am trying to catch up with all of the wonderful cards and projects posted in Blog Land...WOWZA, you have been very busy! Hope I can catch up before we head out again :o)
I am entering this card in the Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger. I really love the inspiration photo "Abstract Folk Art Painting by Catherine Horvath Buchanan" and may try to get another card entered (?) You still have time so go, check out all the fabulous creations here:

There is actually no stamping here...WHAT? Yes, this is shocking :-O but true. Well, there are stamped maple leaves on the 'addressed' envelope which I could not show in the photo ~ so I'm not counting that. The sentiment is computer generated, the flower is a silk from my huge supply and the leaves are a cut of wide ribbon. The base card stock is from SU; the dark green mat is from DCWV, which is embossed with Divine Swirl from Cuttlebug; the twine is from ACE Hardware.
Gorgeous autumn card!!! Yes, I too shock myself when I make a card and then realize I did not stamp. I did not even realize there was no stamping until you mentioned it. So many embellies, so little time :)
ReplyDeleteThis card is truly stunning.
This is beautiful!! I love your take on the trigger. That Ace Hardware twine looks awesome on your card :)

ReplyDeleteWow Helen, you really fooled me here. I thought you stamped those leaves. What a creative way to use your ribbon! Love your card! I have been having internet problems, so my lack of comments is not lack of caring! ;)
