I used the basic format of the top note die cut and ribbon w/sliders, but changed the theme from a more spring card to a fall card, used different ribbon, slider, image and colors.
I don't make too many fall cards usually as I jump right into Christmas, but I'm trying to get better at using the new SU in colors this year which are more jeweled colors.
Benzi will be pleased that I made a fall card - she makes some really beautiful fall cards and Lovely Linda will be proud of me for "sponging" although I'm not too sure I didn't overdo that sponging a tad!! LOL!! The chocolate pearls used on the small flowers were a RAK from Wattle ~ thanks Kathy!!!
Well, that's it for now. Thanks for taking the time to look. If you have a quick moment, let me know what you think! I have a feeling it's back to Christmas cards again!!!

OMG, Pam, you did make a Fall card and it is gorgeous. I love these awesome colors and the gold buckle and ribbon. I don't know what made you step out and do an Autumn card but I'm so glad to see it. You really should do more of these because you do a wonderful job. I see Chimay Blue is still making the rounds and commenting. I love that character. ;) Now, that you finally did a Fall card, I am not sure what to expect when I come to your gallery. Ha
Good job on this beauty!!!

Love the use of the new colours, Pam. The hardware is wonderful as is the layering of the sentiment and those wonderful little flowers. Great job.

So Pretty Pam!!! You did a great job with those colours (I struggle with Autumn colours too!) and I'm glad the pearls came in handy - you can never have too many chocolate pearls!!!

I think you did just fine Pam... it is hard to work with colours you don't normally dabble in... I like the vibrancy of your version off fall... the sponging was a nice touch, tfs
