After a long weekend with no stamping I needed to ease myself back in. This CAS sketch was just the ticket.
I can't wait to see our New England fall folliage again, especially during these muggy days of August!! Leaves were inked in lighter color and rolled in darker color. I used the SU air gun to splatter cajun and espresso. The water stain stamp was sahara stamped off once. I thought the "thank you" got a little lost in the leaves so I added the circles to pull the eye towards it. I guess it works.

So pretty - love your fall card. But after the rainy start we had to our oh so short summer, I'll not be wishing away any of our summer days! I love fall, but I can wait! BTW, we got to enjoy the beautiful fall colours in New Hampshire two years ago - it was spectacular. A gorgeous drive along the Kancamagus Highway - stayed near Whitefield. Spent about three or four days enjoying the sights. So, I can sure understand why you love the fall colours!

Straight into my favs for this beauty. I just love your leaves, and as much as I hate what follows "fall" - LOL- I too am so ready for the cooler weather, and the gorgeous colors. Your card makes me long for it that much more. TFS
