September 2023 CCC

 Greetings~

Posting this as soon as the Card Chain Challenge closes for September. This card uses the suggested autumn colors and the friendship option. *

I have had the paper grid cut out for some time and wanted to use it. The wonderful leaf die cut is from my NBUS Honey Bee set called Lovely Layers: Fall Foliage. The leaf idea is from Linda W.

The grid and the card base are from Stampin' Up! The colors are Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake. I die cut the Maple leaf from a snippet of the Crumb Cake paper then did some shading with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade and Distress Vintage Photo. The leaf is layered on another die cut for some dimension. 

The sentiment is from an oldie but goodies stamp and die set from Papertrey Ink called Mighty Oak. I just fussy cut around it for fun. Really, I kept stamping it crooked on scraps, so gave up. 

It has been a too warm summer for my taste here in Minnesota, so I enjoy the cooler days lately. I hope it is nice where ever you live, Fall or Spring time. 

I will add this the the NBUS site in early October and also the Smippets Playground challenge when it opens.

* Posting late becuase I've been sick AND out of town cat-sitting at my daughters. Getting better now. 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again. I love all your comments!
