An Autumn Greeting

It's Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and my favorite season so I used a fall theme for my card. The design was inspired by two challenges. Double Trouble Challenge #70 is a biweekly challenge with three elements and began on Monday, November 2. The first element (required) is to include stitching in the design, the second element (optional) is to partner with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenges #393 and/or #394. The final element (also optional) is to include a humorous image or sentiment - one that will keep the recipient in stitches! DTC70 will end on Sunday evening, November 15, 2020.

This card was made to coordinate with Sketch #394, which is a weekly sketch challenge beginning on Monday, November 9, and is the second week of the challenge, ending on Sunday evening, November 15, 2020. To see the card for the first week of the challenge, Atlantic Hearts Sketch #393, click HERE. 

A panel of vanilla cardstock was embossed with the same die of stitched leaves as used in Sketch #393. The vanilla panel was adhered to an orange panel and then to a card base. A banner was cut from designer paper and adhered with foam tape. The pinecones were stamped and cut with dies along with the leafy bits. The sentiment was stamped. The inside of the card was lined with vanilla cardstock and decorated with additional die-cut leafy bits.
