Don't you just love the beautiful Fall colors against the black background?! The colors just pop so vividly against the black, so that was my starting point for my card.
I'm also entering this into Darnell's NBUS #12 Challenge, as I had never used the Give Love stamp set before this card. Unfortunately I have more than a few of these stamp sets that I HAD to have and then they sit there for months and months (and sometimes even longer!!) before I use them! Oh well, at least I know I'm not alone...right Darnell?!!! You have until Oct. 4 to play along with Darnell's challenge and you can find all the info right HERE.
Also had the chance to meet fellow blogger Michele Ferguson this weekend at the Papercrafting Roadshow. What an absolute delight to meet this sweet, sweet lady...so fun and an absolute hoot to boot!! :0)
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Just gorgeous, Marcia! I want that Give Love stamp set as well. It is high up on my wishlist and you've done a beautiful job of using it!
