Finally back to post a card--just couldn't seem to get any inspiration of late! I combined the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge with this week's PDCC colors. When I first saw this PDCC challenge, the colors reminded me of colors from the Basic Grey Indian Summer line. I used these a lot for cards last fall and got it out to see what might work. The navy added the contrast and kraft is my neutral. I didn't have anything that could be considered mustard but, while stopping by the LSS to see the new fall products, I picked up a sheet of Bo Bunny's Back to Backs in Honey Mustard Dots. I used one side for the background layer and stamped leaves on the textured side. This is a Kaiser Craft stamp set and I like that the leaves all have patterns and are super easy to cut out. The tag is the PTI bookmark topper die. I punched slits in the top and wove the ribbon through.
Quite unlike my usual cards but it reminds me of playing in a pile of leaves on a gorgeous fall day,
Have a great week,
Sharron

that's just what your card made me think of - a huge pile of beautiful autumn leaves! Love how you've used the mad colours of this week's Play Date Cafe - they work brilliantly here. Thanks so much for playing :)
Oh I love your leaves, Sharron! Such a lovely mix of colours too - you make them work so well together!

So pretty, Sharron! Thanks for playing with the Play Date Cafe!
Very cool. Great use of the leaves. I agree it reminds me playing in a pile of leaves too.
This is WONDERFUL, Sharron! I didn't realize how much of a fall palette this was, until your card! I love it! I'm cracking up, thinking of you having a hard time with your mojo, when you take a stab at the PDCC's unlikely color combo, and make SUCH a stunning card! So happy that you chose to share this little darling!
Great choice to make these colors work! Lovely entry indeed...thanks for playing with us in The Cafe.
Sharron! What an amazing use of this colour scheme! It was a toughie - but your card just sails right through and makes sense of it all! It really does look like a crispy pile of leaves! Just wonderful!
Very pretty! Love your use of the colors for the challenge and the sketch is lovely too.
You really made those colots look well together and I love how you used the die as a tag!
