Hello, here I am with STV's Alumni CSS Inspiration Challenge for September - it's gorgeous and provided by our wonderful team mate Joy Hadden!
Can you believe Autumn is here...love it! love the cooler weather and the beautiful colors. I colored this one using pencils with a touch of Smooch - Snickerdoodle.
I used Melanie Muenchinger's set from GKD - "Stately Flowers 7" and the little acorn used to create the background is from Melanie's set "A Year of Leaves".
Now you should have come from the wonderful blog of Kay Simmons but if not and you want to start from the beginning, go to STV's forum . Your next stop is over to the hugely talented blog of Miesje Flach!.
My cardstocks, ribbon, ink (Memento-Rich Cocoa, Peanut Brittle) can all be found at GKD (I think the ribbon is from a retired STV kit) and then of course I have to add my pearls using Viva Decor Pearl Pen - black...distressed the edges, spellbinder's deckle edge classic ovals LG... and done!
Hope you were inspired and we see you in the challenge!
hugs,

Your card beautifully says "Autumn" with the acorn background and the rustic look of the papers' colors. The ribbon is perfect! The flower almost looks hand-carved the way you colored it. Fabulous!
