Autumn...
Hi there! Hope you all had a great weekend! I made a card in celebration of Autumn. It's not easy for me to get in a Fall festive mode quite yet because the temps are still in the 90's here in Phoenix, we're still wearing shorts and swimming in our pools. Either way, I want to celebrate :) The more I look at this card, the more the pumpkin looks red but I promise you it is not! It's a deep orange. Is it my eyes playing tricks on me because it is after Midnight or is it my computer???
I rarely ever make a card without a sentiment on the front but this time I did because I didn't want to cover up the embossed design. I stamped one of the beautiful sentiments from MFT Inspired by Autumn along with the pumpkin.
For sketch inspiration, I played along with the current Unscripted Sketches challenge #177:
Hope you have a great day! Thanks so much for visiting!
Be Sweet :)
MFT Supplies used:
Stamps: MFT Inspired by Autumn
