CCMC Preview Week Day 2: Hello Fall

Good morning, Friends! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! It's my husband's birthday today! Yesterday our good friend Becky made a fabulous dinner of chicken and noodles and then an awesome dessert of homemade chocolate cake (Pat's favorite) and graham cracker ice cream! YUM!!! I am still so full from all that wonderful food! Tonight we will eat out somewhere of Pat's choosing. The weather is feeling fall-ish. But it is supposed to warm up later this week. I'm loving the cloudy rainy weather as we just don't get it that often around here.

Today's card was a copy of a card from the Stampin' Success magazine. I did change the card base color but that is all. Such a pretty and very simple card!

• Card base is Sahara Sand
• Stamp the background image from For All Things in Sahara Sand onto the card base
• Stamp the leafy stem image onto the background image using Blackberry Bliss ink
• Add two strips of the Color Me Autumn washi tape
• Ink up just the 'hello' on the greeting stamp and stamp that onto the card base using Crushed Curry ink
• Stamp the splotches from Gorgeous Grunge onto the card base using Sahara Sand
• Thread a piece of linen thread through a gold basic metal button and tie a bow then adhere to card
