Friends of Unity Blog Hop, September 2021, Color Challenge

 Hello crafty friends, I am so excited for this month's hop! We're having a color challenge! Plus, we are inviting all of you to play along. There will be an album on the Unity Show & Tell page to link up your lovely creations. I mean, who doesn't love an awesome color challenge? And these three colors are gorgeous together, sage, kraft, and white. Perfect color combo for fall. Check out this beautiful graphic:

Here is my first card:

This image is so endearing to me. I couldn't wait to create a card using this stamp set. The beautiful sentiment is also from the same kit. The kit is called every leaf speaks bliss to me. I love fall. First, I love the colors of fall. Second, I get to wear my sweaters and scarves. Lastly, it's time to pull out the boots. Fall is just a fun season. If you don't have this kit, you must add it to your collection.

Next card:

I used my brand new Gina Marie frame die. I purchased it at Stampaway USA in Cincinnati last month. Now I have to buy the rectangular die set. This card did not go as planned. I planned on CAS, but as you can see, it's not. Ha! I decided to use some Prima embellishments. But first, let's get to how this card was created. The script background on vellum is actually Prima packaging. Their packaging is as beautiful as their embellishments. I have used their packaging before. I stamped the leaf, cut it out, and colored it with one of my new Prima water colors. I set it aside. I used kraft paper for the frame. I stamped the brick background on white card stock and adhered it to the frame. Foam adhesive was used on the frame piece. I grabbed my stamped leaf and placed it at an angle using foam adhesive. The fabric leaf was then glued to the frame piece. The Prima flower was layered over the leaf. I decided to add the wood button with the butterfly at the last minute. I then stamped the sentiment, cut it out and placed it under the frame using foam adhesive. Kits used on this card are: change can be beautiful and hit the brick. I love the versatility of background stamps. You can use a little or a lot.
