In September, I purchased two dies from The Greetery's new collection: "Botanic Cuts: Mighty Oak," and the "Shiplap Builder." I recently had time to make a fall birthday card (soon to go in the mail) and used the challenge from the Paper Players for my color scheme.
There are over 18 names on my October and November birthday and anniversary list. Many of the cards in my stash are too summery, so I'm back to needing some new cards. This one fits the bill.
The card had a rocky start. I had finished it, and decided it needed a few ink splatters. I'm always a bit apprehensive when I start that process, and there's good reason why. The splatters were too big and too many, so I carefully disassembled the card and started over! This time I splattered first and with a much smaller paintbrush. Lesson learned, I hope!
The sentiment is also from The Greetery: "Blessed Blooms," which has the same font as an earlier set which I like so much. The dies are awesome, too! The beautiful copper envelope was part of a Simon Says kit.
It's another beautiful fall day here! Off to enjoy it.
