One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Tag You're It # 31

I just had to play along again with
The inspiration was terrific by Jeanne and ALL the TEAM members!!
What I loved about Jeanne's tag was the GOLD.  When I look out on a fall day and all those golden leaves are on the ground I just think of bits of gold from heaven and how beautiful it makes the brown earth look!
I used some distress ink on the paper by sponging on various fall colors, then I used my versamark pen to go around the edges of the leaves, dipped them in the gold embossing powder and heat set them.  I love how they look.
I decided to emboss a piece of white paper with the same gold ep so I could die cut the word "blessings" to match the leaves.
 
dies:  PTI Tag It # 6, Lawn Fawn Stitched leaves, SSS "blessings"
Stamps:  Keep it Simple:  Thanksgiving 
misc  Michaels: organdy, daffodil ribbon, twine from May Arts
paper:  Recollections:  Craft It vintage Glam, Pure Poppy, PTI Kraft card
 
Here is the inspiration photo:
 
Heart hugs and have a beautiful weekend friends!

Autumn Cards

I had sponged a lot of distress inks onto a piece of paper and die cut all the leaves from Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves and Small Stitched leaves.  These were leftover from another card I made.  OMG, I noticed my dashed white line did not go all the way up the side...I fixed it, so the card is alright, the picture is NOT, sorry about that!
I do love Fall when the world is just full of all those awesome colors, the yellows, golds, oranges, reds and greens, I LOVE IT!  And I must admit to loving the shorter days and even cooler or rainy ones because then I don't feel so guilty playing in the studio all day!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
