Thinking of You

Hi everyone!  We have had the most glorious weather here (at least, as I’m typing this).  Lower than normal temps, more importantly to me–lower than normal humidity.  It’s like a sweet little taste of fall, just a bit early.  I love it.

For this week’s sketch challenge with My Favorite Things, I’ve used WBD You’re So Special to Me with sentiments from LJD Pretty Poppies.  (I ♥ the font.)  New Brick Red, Fuse Green and Olive card stock create the perfect blend to add a fall feel to my card.

After stamping the image onto X-Press It Blending Card, I colored with Copics. The small tabs at the top, as well as the embossed/stitched strip at the bottom, were die-cut using Blueprints 1 with the tiny heart cut from Fluttering Hearts Die-namics.    The double layered scalloped strip along the bottom is from Blueprints 4 with a Fuse Green button tied with hemp cord just above.

Inside, I used a second sentiment from Pretty Poppies and adhered some additional Fluttering Hearts along the bottom.  Lots of room for a personal message.  🙂

Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details for this week’s Stamp Club.
