Diane is hosting our color challenge this week with a beautifully classic fall combination. Two warm colors with a rich cool color. It's so fun to work with and for dessert we get one of my favorites - Texture!
I started pondering this combination by checking my drawer of die cuts and images and found this die cut greeting and thought it would go with this sketch I haven't used for a while. I had been thinking about doing another card with this sketch which looks kind of like the corner of a tablecloth going across the top of the card.
Since this has a dark, Pretty Peacock base I needed to add a piece for the inside and I took a quick photo with both the inside and outside before I glued it in. I usually don't add die cuts to the middle but these were extra and once closed the thicker parts of the card kind of balance each other out so I think it will mail OK.
Thank you so much for taking a peek! Bring out your best fall vibes and join us in the color challenge this week. We would love to see you in the gallery!

Anybody receiving this gem is sure to smile and has to feel better just for that. Your beautiful peacock corners and die cuts really show off those wonderful blooms dressed up in their bright warm colors. This is a great sketch and you utilized it beautifully. And that ef is perfection here. Love every inch of this. Fabulous card.
