It's a Beautiful Day!

Hello Everyone,

Hard to believe it's fall like weather already. I want my summer back, LOL!  It's time for another challenge over at Whimsical Wednesday.  I didn't want to miss the fun and I was hoping it would help get me in the mood for fall.  The challenge at Whimsical Wednesday  is Fall Colors "and" to create a  handmade embellishment on your project. I was a bit stumped on this handmade embellishment challenge and just not coming up with anything..total brain freeze. So, hope this works!

I started out with some seam binding ribbon and added some adhesive to it. I then folded and gathered the ribbon to create a pretty ribbon border. I took the ribbon and went around a pencil to form a little flower like embellishment to match.


For my card I cut the tree from the Create A Critter cartridge at 3" plus the layers. I added some orange peel stickles to the card to pop it out a bit along with a little embossing on the trunk of the tree. The banner is from Spellbinders-Ribbon Banners and the sentiment is from BugBites~All Year Round set. Hope you like it:)


Thanks for visiting and have a Great weekend!
Sherrie K
