Card Maker Blog Hop - Graceful Leaves

Welcome to the Card Maker Graceful Leaves Blog Hop!  This is my first post as part of the blog team and I am so thrilled!  September turns our thoughts to falling leaves, although I'm happy to say there aren't too many around here lately.  We are enjoying a beautiful and warm September!  Hope it says around into October.

I loved making this card because I did something I haven't done for a long time.  Pull together stamps from different manufacturers!  Sounds funny, but when I am doing challenges and publication submissions, I usually try to use just one manufacturer.  Today, it's three, Paper Smooches (the leaves), Unity Stamp Co. (the sentiment) and A Muse Studio (the background).  I'm incorporating the velveteen stamping technique (which I discovered over at Hero Arts).  I'm also using some of my favourite colours together, they feel so rich and warm.


Can't wait to see what the rest of the amazing Card Maker blog team has in store!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you are having a great week and enjoy the rest of the fabulously leafy creations!
