Karen has some beautiful fall colors for us this week: Mango Melody, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red with ribbon for dessert.
This is a little more Pumpkin than I usually use on a card but I really loved the glow it gets with the Mango. Stamping for the front of my card was all done on Mango Melody giving it an extra warm glow. This bundle is new to me and I was just playing around with how these curve dies work - using some of this week's colors. So many possibilities and I'm sure I have more discoveries ahead of me. I used two die cut sprays that were colored with Blends to cover the dots of the lower curve though that would have been an interesting graphic look too.
I tried just a plain tied bow but it looked rather silly with the graphic curves so I colored a piece of 1/4" white seam binding with a Mango Melody Blends and then tied it so that it would have a real "draping" look. I used a mini glue dots to hold it's drape. This little bow will easily be less than 1/4" thick and should easily be mailed with a standard stamp.
The inside reads "wishing you the happiest of birthdays" with another little spray stamped and colored.
Thank you for a lovely color combination, Karen. I sure everyone can find a little time to join us in this challenge!
