This weekend the air held the first hint of autumn. I was born in October, and fall has always been my favorite time of the year ... the cooler temperatures and changing colors always make me feel more alive.
Since several challenges are encouraging us to go ahead and usher in the season, I decided to make my first fall card.
The Paper Players theme is Happy Fall Y'All, so I broke out some autumn hues and leaves.
I started with strips of handmade paper including some of my own paste paper.
I added some glittery felt leaves for Just Us Girls where the theme is Leaves.
And the Curtain Call Challenge is celebrating Lovely Leaves as well.
I finished with some Neat and Tangled Festive Fall Sequins and a sticker sentiment from Cosmo Cricket using the Sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday.
Your card is stunning! I love all the gorgeous texture on the leaves and the paper strips. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players.
