The Hop started at Michael's Blog, and if you are hopping, you came here from Peg's Blog : )
I decided to make an Autumn card- I have a goal to USE stamps that have NOT seen ink yet. I used the Seasonal Silhouettes stamp set.
I used Distress ink pads on the background and blended on Fall colors : Barn Door, Shabby Shutters, Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge. I inked up the leaf and not the outer border using Distress markers Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Barn Door and Wild Honey. I added Antique Linen over the top as the white cardstock was a little stark looking...... Next, I added the black border with the Distress Ink (Black) marker. I huffed on the stamp and I really like how the leaves have variety in color.
The sentiment is from McMahon Five Designs (which has closed).
I used cardstock from DCWV Brights, and added a few sequins (generic).
Your next stop on the Hop is Laura.

Your card is lovely Shelly. Michael Strong was a regular teacher at one of the local scrapbook stores I used to be a DT member at. His classes were always so popular. He's a sweet man.
