Blessed Autumn card

Dawn McVey has a video that captured my card making heart, on

Nichole's blog. MIM this week celebrates mixing the PTI Florals.

Hooray! I love all things floral, and ALL the florals at Papertrey.

Time to pull out the fall stamp sets. And with Dawn's advice on 'how to', 

combine a few and celebrate this time of year!

I have to tell you, I was late ordering Beautiful Berries: Autumn, just received it a few days ago.

But like all the sets that shine a light on the beauty of this season, I'm won over.

As Dawn advised, I collected several of my Autumn stamps, deciding which ones to combine.

Twig Wreath helped to 'ground' the different sets. 

Simple Sunflower hasn't seen ink in a while, but I liked the size with the berry branch.

Also liked the look of elements in Paper Clippings: Thankful For You Details.

My sentiment is from Inspired: Blessed

Thank you for visiting this morning. Check out Dawn's video here:

Make It Monday #297: Mixing Florals

Blessed

Hi PTI fans! 

I love Mondays that fall  on Papertrey's release week.

We are asked to case the wonderful designers who take the new product 

and create and design fabulous things!

Sounds easy? Fun yes, easy no. Just try picking one out of 76 glorious

creations!

I finally settled on a beauty by Michelle Leone, featuring Betsy Veldman's new

Beautiful Berries: Autumn. You can see Michelle's card, and a card set she did here:

More Papertrey Ink Release - Beautiful Berries: Autumn and Sunflower Harvest

I used the stencil from Herb Garden, as Michelle did, and

substituted my vine with one from Embellished Elegance.

Inked with Summer Sunrise and Harvest Gold

Vine inks: Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest, Scarlett Jewel.

So glad to use that lovely set again! 

Double Ended Banners and Inspired: Blessed.

Stitched die from Noted: Scalloped A2.

The Inspired: Blessed stamp set has several sentiments that go along

with the word, Blessed, but couldn't decide which to use.

Decided I'd wait until the need arises to add, 'so very', or 'grateful, thankful', 

or one of the other lovely sayings.
