This is for Dawn’s Free 4 All Challenge – Small Tall or Long Tall – envelope that is. I am stuck in a rut with A2 size, so I grabbed a small tall envie from my stash. I used Kraft cardstock for Lisa’s Ways to Use It Challenge from last week. The image was already stamped from a challenge earlier this week, so I took advantage of it. I actually used some Ruby Red ink and DSP. This retired color was one I didn’t use very often – hardly ever, but it does look good with the Kraft. I used the same DSP on the envelope flap which you can see in the picture. Watercolored the image with colors for the beginning of autumn and die-cut into an oval.
Today, I stepped outside to a fabulous temperature! Around here, we don’t pronounce this month as October, instead we say “Awwww-tober” because the temperatures are truly cooling down. It’s a happy day! TFL

Wow, this is a great design with lots of interesting elements that all work together. Love the dynamic color scheme; somehow, despite using kraft as the base, you were able to make the red, with yellow accents the star of the show. Really well done and you knocked the tall/long card challenge out of the part with this one. TFS

A lovely rustic, country feeling card. The polka dot paper and the kraft go so well together and you have nicely tied the whole card together with the twine.
