This is for CAS394 that requires a one layer card with a nature themed stamp. My card is clean and simple for sure. I simply embossed a double-stitched rectangle on the card front and stamped an autumn leaf covered in various fall colors. I stamped the "many thanks" sentiment in metallic gold. And that's it!
I need to share a story about this card. I made this card early Monday morning. I had it completely finished and got distracting by a knock on my door. I left my craft room to answer the door. After my visitor left, I went back into my craft room to take a picture of the card. I COULD NOT find the card!! I looked and looked, and couldn't find it. I looked through the trash, through paper scraps, and everywhere in my craft room but couldn't find it.
Tuesday rolls around and I keep searching. No card found! So I gave up! This evening, I sat down at my craft table to make a card, pulled out my desk drawer, and guess what was in the drawer? You're right, it was the card!! I must have slipped it in the drawer when I left my craft room to answer the door!
Let me tell you that it's a pain growing old! Memory is one of the first things that goes!! I have no recollection of placing this card in that drawer, and that drawer is the only one I didn't check Monday and Tuesday!! Lord help me!!
TFL and leaving comments!

Bestill my heart Bev, this is one amazingly stunning card! I love the stitched embossing around this elegant leaf you stamped so beautifully! This is going right into my favs! Wow! Your story makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER! I am misplacing things all the time. I "lost" a multi-layer stamp over a month ago now, and I still cannot find it. Dang! It will show up, but I sure would love to have it. I blame it on the gremlins that come into our house at night. Yep! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! So glad you found your card. I am giggling about how much fun we are going to have in splitcoastersland some day. LOL. Love this outstanding card of yours! ~Karen.
