My triple challenge card honoring "QFTD118 stampin'nana". Roberta has a wonderfully creative and often CAS style gallery. Thanks Trish for another awesome Queen.
I also love fall colors and leaves, but decided to use my new SU Elegant Butterflies punch with the CC380 by Mary..Tangerine Tango, Choc. Chip and Always Artichoke...dessert, popped up images.
I LOVE this color combo and may have to do another.
I also did this weeks F4A122 paper piercing challenge by Wendy. I did the cross stitching for the 1st time and loved it.
Congratulations again Roberta and thanks to the wonderful hostesses of all 3 challenges.

Nancy, a lovely set of butterflies. Love the embossing. I never noticed that you have whiter hair than I do.....in fact my doesn't look white at all next to yours!! I have a very good friend that has paper white hair and when I say something about my white hair she just scoffs.....

Wow, Nancy, this is simply beautiful! Don't you love how cas can look so stunning? Just like these awesome butterflies. ; ) And your little cross-stitching is a lovely added touch. Thank you for all your kind comments, Nancy, they are so appreciated, and thank you for casing one of my cards.
