The Beauty of Nature

Happy Sunday everyone!  I hope you are having a lovely fall weekend.  Here in Massachusetts it has been perfect weather - cool and sunny with the leaves turning and beginning to fall!

I made this card for the Inspiration Challenge over on Split Coast.  Our inspiration site this week was Pier 1 Imports (I love that store!).  This pretty table runner was my inspiration.

I knew I would use my favorite Rubbernecker stamp set Fall Trilogy set for my card.  Because I wanted to emboss my stems - I first inked them in Versamark and then my color ink, then I clear embossed them.  I sponged the background, masking off areas with a piece of computer paper until it was all covered.

I'm also entering this card in these challenges:

 Just Us Girls challenge - to emboss resist 

Catch the Bug challenge -  a fall meadow inspiration photo.

Just a reminder - 10/17 is the Monthly Waltzingmouse Blog Party - it's a color theme this month - check it out here.  It's always on my sidebar as well!  Hope to see you at the party!!
