Yesterday was so dreary and the fall chill (and pile of beautiful papers left on my table from the fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop) were calling me. I picked up this awesome new adhesive glittered ribbon on clearance at AC Moore and really wanted to use it on a fall card. The stripes across the week 1 Viva la Verve sketch seemed a perfect fit. Now, this card would be so beautiful if I did the sentiment in TH's new foils, but the stores were closed and I just went with it, but can you imagine? I tried embossing it in brown glitter, but you couldn't read the words in this thin lined sentiment...
So funny that it really feels like fall and none of the leaves have turned...
Anyway, I thought about waiting on my new Verve stamps to arrive, but decided that I love this Grace stamp so much and it would fit beautifully. I punched one of the leaves from the ribbon and the others from scrap CS, then sponged the edges lightly and mounted in a bundle.
I used the end of an awl to curl the papers like this, something I picked up from flower making. Similarly, you could use a toothpick or the end of a thin paint brush. I love those curls and tears!
