Stampin! with Jaydee

 

Now.... my initial thought was to TOTALLY go Halloween, but realized that these colors could also work a floral card and that is the way I decided to go.

I looked at my floral kits and realized that I had the Altenew Spring Daisy set, but that it could also work really well for fall inspired cards.  I wanted to make a clean and simple card, but wanted to add some texture.  My brick stencil and some embossing paste allowed me to do just that!

 

Once my embossing paste was applied to my card front, I set about stamping and die-cutting the flowers and leaves.  I adhered them to the card front with dimensionals and added the sentiment that I created from the Altenew set Label Love.

 

Here's my card:

On a personal note:

It's official...... autumn/fall is in full swing and we have experienced our first below freezing temperatures for a couple of months.  While that is an exaggeration, it certainly feels as though it is only a couple of months ago :-)  We know that the Junco's are the next thing to arrive to confirm my hypothesis of the arrival of late fall :-)

I was out and about in the garden and caught this shot... I cannot remember what type of plant this is, but I am absolutely obsessed with the amazing colors and veining:

Isn't that amazing?  I think it is... the blue-green veins, the red stems and the pale and darker green leaf parts.  Just stunning.

I thought you might want to see a photo of what has been visiting our bird feeder:

I NEVER get tired - ever get tired - of watching - and listening to the Pileated Woodpecker.  They are truly amazing- and so pre-historic.  They are truly amazing.

I will be back with another card on Tuesday.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight

Hugs

Jaydee
