Oranges, yellows, reds...the colors all combine to make the perfect palette for autumn. I was inspired by nature's palette for this month's Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Hop. Its also a perfect time to thank my mother for all she's done!
A simple card that I'm hoping is also elegant. Pattern paper is sewn to the card base, a wide ribbon wrapped over that and a stamped label is attached with a handmade decorative pin and some twine. The sentiments from Roses in Bloom are just so lovely I thought that a card to showcase them was in order.
I invite you to visit me again tomorrow to help celebrate my birthday, I'll be having a giveaway! Fall is the perfect time to have a birthday, in my opinion!
