Hello everyone!I am running a little behind on the challenges I usually try to do, so I really wanted to get in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge before time runs out! LOL!
So I started with a Bazzill base, layered on Core'dinations Vintage Collection Marigold color, and I matted my image with the bazzill again. My image is a Cotton Scrap from Crafty Secrets... called "flowers". I sewed the scrap to the mat with gold thread and a not so perfect zig zag stitch. Now you see why I don't sew that much on my cards! LOL!
Anyway, I used a scrap of deep chocolate which I cut with my Nestatbiliteis Flourish for the top and bottom, then added antique copper brads and jewelry hemp wrapped around them.
It is still hot and summery here, but the evenings are starting to really cool off, so there is a hint of fall in the air. I love this time of year. I love when the leaves start to change and that glorious beauty surrounds you with warmth and splendor! My Grandkids were here yesterday playing on the lake one last time before it gets too cool. I have so much to thank God for!
Thanks for looking! Have a great week!

Gorgeous! I like the colors and how you framed the image.
I love fall. Great card!
Beautiful card Grace. Love the fact that it's a fabric piece on the card. I'm sure the texture is wonderful IRL. :)
