TECC75 - Grateful

Wow it's great to have Taylor back with her wonderful Cupcake Friday sketches.  I had some time in between making potato salad, bean salad, rhubarb cookies (which are yummy by the way) and decided to play along. 

I wanted to use some of my new SU stuff and chose the Falling Leaves stamp set as my starting point.  I also paired it with the new Autumn Traditions Designer Paper.

I stamped the leaves in More Mustard, Always Artichoke and Eggplant Envy on Shimmery White card stock cut with Nesties and layered onto the same colors of card stock.  My panel is Ruby Red Textured cs with a Scallop Lace border trimmed with Always Artichoke and Zig Zag stitched with my Janome Sew Mini.

My sewing is a tad crooked but I'm still new to sewing on cards so even though it's not perfect I'm posting it anyway. 

I used my Label Nesties and added the "Grateful" sentiment with Eggplant ink and used More Mustard Grosgrain ribbon and a Leaf Shaped button with some linen tread for an accent.  The leaves on the main panel are raised with foam tape as is the sentiment.

Be sure to stop by Taylor's blog and check out everyone's take on this fun sketch by clicking on the Mr. Linky links.  Have a great rest of the weekend.
