Belle Papier {pretty paper}

LOL More desk cleaning and another card. I was cleaning up last week before we left for Niagara and was about to throw out the little scrap of striped paper. I couldn’t do it! Before I knew it, the bones of this card ( layout and layers) were lightly glued together, waiting for me to come home and finish it. I had no idea what I was going to stamp on it but it was laid out.  Once home again…the warm colors made me think of Paisley so I stamped the thyme layer with Paisley in the Thyme ink. I love the tone on tone effect. I stamped the pumpkin layer tone on tone again with the Fontastic background stamp. All edges were sponged with close to cocoa. I finally decided to stamp right on the striped paper for the image. The leaf image from Autumn Leaf Prints is stamped in the pumpkin and I added a little embossed thanks for the sentiment and to balance it out. For final touches…i added a little row of faux stitching on the thyme layer and a clip and some black organdy ribbon from Michael’s. Prima flower pulls all the tones together and I love the big pumpkin colored brad from Karen Foster Designs in the middle. It is always nice to have a thank you card on hand. I’m quite pleased with the results of my scrap of paper inspiration.
