happy fall

I really can't wait for the Fall. The heat and humidity of the summer are somewhat pointless unless I am on a beach with palm trees surrounding me. And the fact that there are so many yummy crafting goodies that are released for the fall and winter only makes me love those seasons even more.

This card has similar paper to the one from yesterday, including the Amber Ink digi-paper, but I had the chance to use my new PTI Simple Sunflower and Verve sentiment:




I love how this turned out. To be honest, I have had a hard time finding ways to use PTI's fine linen paper and ribbon and I think it paired so nicely with the other colors here. Sometimes it looks greenish to me, other times it looks bleh to me. Here, not so much. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on this color too. Have a great day!

Not sure what is looks like in person, but it sure looks dynamite here! I'm okay with Fall, but SO not okay with what comes after that ;(

Love your card. Those bright colors look great with Fine Linen. I must admit, I use fine linen a lot, and never realized it might be considered a bleh color. Oops. Well, here, you'rs looks totally fabby.

This card really makes me want to break out my sunflower stamp and die! I haven't had a chance to ink it yet, but this card is super inspiring.

I tend to always reach for kraft or white for my neutrals, but I find that fine linen is a great in between color. It looks great with your card!

Wowzers! This is fabulous. The linen paper makes the bright colors pop off the page and is the perfect neutral Suzanne. I adore it! Don't own any of that color but you certainly knocked it out of the park!

Love those fun colors especially on the Fine Linen. I agree....I don't reach for Fine Linen paper very often....has to be just the right project.

Gorgeous! I love your colour scheme here, and that bow is perfect!! Those sunflowers are so pretty, I may just have to get that set after all. :)

I hear you on the linen colour. I bought it thinking it was a little creamier. I have yet to try to use it. You made it look great!

Glad I'm not the only one who struggles with that color of paper! You used it amazingly well though! It works so well with your patterned paper and the sunflowers! SO cute!!
