The Card Concept #181 - The Colors of Fall

Welcome my stampy friends to another challenge starting today at 

THE CARD CONCEPT!

Here is our beautiful inspiration: 

And here is my card:

I was inspired to create my Clean & Layered  style card by the beautiful Fall leaves.

~Clean lines

~Lots of Layers

~Designer papers, embossing

~Embellishments/accents

~Clean & Fresh looking

~Some colored images

~White space

I created lots of layers with this beautiful pattern paper. I added a white paper doily, a yellow paper rose that I had in my stash, and some tan seam binding to make the bow.

The sentiment was stamped on white label die cut. I sort of curled the label to give it some texture.

I hope you love the colors and the theme of this challenge as much as I have! 

And I hope that I have inspired you to join our challenge!
