Tomorrow at work there is a bridal shower for one of our First Grade teachers who has planned an October wedding. Now even though in Florida that can still be a beach wedding I decided to go with a fall theme for my card. I just love the colors of autumn.
For this card I used two of my very favorite Saltbox Studio sets Tweets and Tweet Houses. I stamped the Church with Versafine Black Onyx and then made a mask. Next I stamped the branch with Palette Burnt Umber ink on top of my masked Church. I colored my image with Koh-I-Noor colored pencils and Gamsol. The ran my layer of white Bazzill through the Swirls Embossing folder and lightly rubbed Yellow Citrus Colorbok ink over top. The rectangle layers were cut out with Nestabilities dies and lightly distressed. The ribbon is from American Crafts, which I found at Target.

I love how you added the extra bit of color around the leaves. What a nice touch! I am sure they will love it! And what a creative way to add a fun twist to a wedding card. It's not the same old thing! :) Lovely!
