The 3rd challenge of October for CAS Colours & Sketches is here. Michal has pulled together some beautiful colors that really nestle quite nicely with a Fall/Autumn theme. Quiet, Serene and BOLD. I was a bit baffled what to do with this color scheme – Then I took its Fall suggestion to heart. I’m, and the rest of the CC&S team are quite curious to see what these colors brought to mind for you. If you are so inclined, please post your card creation to our challenge gallery. Thanks for joining us this week, lets get crafty!

Like I said earlier – I was a bit baffled – the Pacific Point really threw me off. But then, an epiphany occurred. My Fall muse spoke to me and off we went. One stamp set, a couple of dies and I present you with:

On Basic White cardstock I used the leaf image in the Season of Chic stamp set, along with the Stamparatus to stamp the leaves two tone. I laid a base of Pale Papaya, and the 1st or 2nd generation of Sahara Sand over the Pale Papaya, either at the top or bottom of the leaf image. I stamped the sentiment “Thanks”, also from the Season of Chic stamp set, in Pacific Point on a piece of Basic White card stock. Grabbed a die from the Tailor Made Tags die set and 2 dies from the Deckled Rectangles Die set, off to die cutting. I glued the die cut Basic White finished panel to the piece of Pale Papaya, and placed them center stage on the Sahara Sand top folding card base. I attached a little bit of linen thread to the tag and attached the sentiment to the card with Dimensionals. Inside is lined with a piece of Basic White cardstock also die cut with a Deckled Rectangle die. Since there are no two leaves that look a like, the leaves inside are stamped simply with Pale Papaya and another in Sahara Sand.

    Another great autumn card, Shannon! I love the deckled layers, the rough edges add so much interest and texture!
