Goodbye Summer!

I know it was just last week that I was telling you how it FINALLY felt like summer around here.  It was in the 90s all week. Well that has certainly changed as it is in the lower 70s today! I don't know if it is supposed to stay this cool because my kids watch their morning cartoons during the news, but I am not liking it one bit!  The one thing I HAVE noticed though is that I have been in the mood to make fall cards. I can't get enough of the fall colors, THAT is for sure!  Today our challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! is Anything Goes, so I was free to do whatever I wanted!  Yay! I decided to use the challenges from Mojo Monday and The Paper Players.

I wanted to use the scrumptious Sweater Weather DSP so I took my colors from that. 

I did some faux stitching around the outside of my DSP and the edge of my card. After I adhered the DSP I stamped it with some of the images from Gorgeous Grunge to give it some character. I haven't used Friendship Preserves in quite a while and thought it worked well with this sketch.  I did notice, however, that this is the only stamp that I have even punched out of the rubber to use. Oops!  Guess I will have to find something to do with the other stamps in the set!  I used my Blender Pen to color in the Thanks. The leaf was first stamped and then I covered it with my 2-Way Glue Pen and poured Orange and Gold Glitter over it to add some bling.
