Last year a very dear friend of mine gave me several garbage sacks chock full of old SU sets - and other stamps and misc. items. I'm weeding my way though some of them - very slowly though. This image is from a set from 2001 called Thank You Blocks and the sentiment is from CTMH Autumn Splendor. I also used some of my favorite fall ribbon on it! Love that stuff.....but I'm just crazy for any type of plaid. You can't really see it in the photo, but it was done on some textured white card stock. Can't seem to get that to photograph right - but it really makes it pretty in real life.
I decided to do this again (hey, I'll have TWO fall cards now). On this one I ditched the ribbon and bow and used Versa Mark on the image with clear embossing powder and then sponged them with Old Olive, Cajun Craze, and Pumpkin Pie. I love that ribbon - but kinda like it with no ribbon and bow too.
Thanks for stopping by.........and I'll be back tomorrow with a couple of challenge cards (Shopping Our Stash and {Pin}spirational Challenges)!

Both cards are beautiful Lynn and perfect fall colors! I think I agree with you and like the one without ribbon the best. Love the look of the leaves, very pretty!
Love these Lynn! What beautiful colours and I love the effectiveness of the layout :)
Love the CAS style. Pretty ribbon and I like how you picked up those colors for your images. Great job.

Well, there's a ton of Xmas in July - so why not Fall in July?? What a fun leaf stamp! I love your layout!! And - yes - the ribbon is spectacular!

I hate to be wishing my life away but I'm tired of summer and so ready for fall. This is a great CAS card. Love that leaf stamp! I vote for the ribbon 'cause it's so gorgeous. :-D
Fall is definitely my favorite season so I can really appreciate these cards. I love the autumn colors - and that ribbon (of course) is perfect.

Two wonderful cards and those leaves are stunning and some of my favourite colours. Fall is my favourite time of year as the leaves change their colours. Fantastic ribbon.

I know..I know...I'm supposed to be leaving for work...I keep telling myself "just one more peek at her next card..." These are lovely - love the stark white contrast. I am kind of hooked on resist techniques. Thanks for the inspiration my friend! Now really....I MUST get going.
