Autumn Hues Bouquet in a Vintage Bottle Thank You

 Greetings!

It is hard to beat all the beautiful hues of Autumn here in the Midwest.  So many shades of golds, reds, purples, and oranges for us to feast our eyes on.  I love using the colors of nature to inspire the colors I choose for my cards and this time of year gives us a wonderful palette to create with.

The Vintage Christmas stamp set has a lovely ensemble of blooms and pine cones, as well as greenery that easily translates into a fall bouquet which is what I used on this card.  The combination of Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry and Early Espresso inks for the bouquet on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock definitely gives it an Autumn vibe.


I wanted a colorful background so I opted to fill it with strips of cardstock in various shades of Autumn, and embossed some of the strips with the Stripes 3D embossing folder from the Stripes & Splatters embossing folder set.  I found the perfect "Thank You" in the Wildflower Path stamp set, which also has the message that is on the inside.  The Crushed Curry tag gives it a nice bright pop of color so I opted to leave this card embellishment free - shocking, I know!
