harvest

With about one month to go before Thanksgiving, I am trying my best to make my Turkey Day cards, but the snow tonight made it a little difficult - how on earth can it be snowing when all the leaves haven't even fallen off the trees yet?

I decided to play along in the ColourQ Challenge as well as the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge this week. The cQc colors were a little bit tough for me, mostly because of the two shades of yellow. This is my first time playing along in Freshly Made; I love the idea of this blog because the sketches aren't too CAS nor are they too complicated for my style. Here are the two challenge photos...hope you'll play along too:
 

My card uses lots of A Muse Studio goodies. I am really loving this Bounty of the Season stamp set because it stamps so beautifully, and because it's not a pumpkin set...I am pretty much pumpkin'd out until next year. 

The A Muse Studio (a|s) ink color used to stamp the wheat image is Apricot. I used some Bazzill papers for the lighter yellow and peach tones, then added some a|s diamond glitter strips to the banner diecut (PTI). I tied black DMC floss "around" the wheat and finished it off with a clear heart-shaped button (SU!). The gingham paper is from a|s as well.

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned next Tuesday when I'll have some fun crafty news I've been dying to share!
