Lovely Leaves

Hello everyone,

Today's post is a wonderful autumn birthday card.

The card base is Craft Smith.  The printed paper is of unknown origin layered on Stampin' Up Always Artichoke.  The leaves were cut from Stampin' Up Always Artichoke, More Mustard and Really Rust with Docrafts Xcut Leaves die.  The sentiment is Creative Expressions Amazing Sentiments stamped in Stampin' Up Early Espresso ink.

I couldn't resist crafting a fall birthday card using this wonderful plaid.  I was inspired by all the beautiful fall colours in Ottawa right now.  Our neighbor's maple tree is a thing of beauty right now!  The colours of the leaves coordinated with the colours in the plaid paper.  The sentiment is in the design 'sweet spot' and is highlighted even more by the leaves.  This is one of my favourite cards in this series of commissioned birthday cards.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
