A "fall-ish" happy birthday - 3 challenges

Well, it's the last day of this holiday weekend :(
That means back to work tomorrow...and my crafting will have to wait until next weekend.  But, I'm spending time at my craft table today.

I needed to create a card for a brother-in-law, so these 3 challenges fit together perfectly.





Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love the colors, the crisp air...everything!  So I already knew I wanted to use a fall theme on my BIL's card.  This is what I created...


It's a simple and easy card, but I'm really pleased with it :)  I hope he likes it.  Although, I don't know that cards really matter much to him!  But I always send one anyway...lol !

Thanks so much for taking a look today.





Supplies:
Card stock: early espresso, confetti cream, more mustard, pool party (Stampin' Up!)
Ink: early espresso (SU)
Stamps: birthday whimsy (SU)
DSP: spice cake (SU)
Other: leaves #2 Sizzix die (SU), leaf punch (MS), dimensionals, glue dots

  4. Wonderful card for fall and for your BIL! I agree with Geri, he may not say it, but he's got to appreciate that you acknowledge his birthday.

  10. That is the perfect placement of a strip of designer paper. It frames the leaves beautifully.
