It's photo week at Just Us Girls this week and isn't this a stunner? Fall is truly on its way here in Michigan with falling temperatures, but our trees are not quite this colorful YET!
Carol Mc was my muse today as I loved her lifted, camouflaged panel - I had wanted to play with a new-to-me die set and an older set from Memory Box called Grateful Autumn - it gets a little attention every Fall. Here's where I got started - by stamping the image on my card base using the lid of my MISTI! Taping down your paper AND the MISTI is very important here!
It was stamped again on a separate panel for coloring:
Then I used that new die to cut my panel before lifting it
up and aligning it with the image stamped on the card base.
This image never gets old - and I adore this Slimline Label set from Altenew!
Thanks Carol, it's my turn to say 'saw it had to make it!'
Bonus: it fits the Double D Challenge: Things that Fall! Pretty easy to see where my inspiration came from!

This is lovely Michele!
This is beautiful, Michele! Wow!
Yay, you came back for another round! I love that you were inspired by Carol's card and your take on it. You have such an array of fun-shaped die-cuts. I have a feeling it's one of your weaknesses. Such a great sentiment and way to display it. All around a fantastic card. Thanks for playing at Just Us Girls for Photo Week. Hubby is in Michigan as we speak but may shorten his trip to be home for a possible hurricane. What are the chances the one time he decides to take a trip for pleasure, this happens!
Swoon...
Beautiful!
A true "Michele" card and I love it!! I really like how you lined it all up but only colored part of it...soooo eye catching!! Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
What a fantastic card, from a fabulous idea! I must admit I don't understand the reasoning behind stamping outside the Misti, but it makes for a wonderful card. It's also easy to see why you CASEd an idea because it's a great one!
That is such a simple leafy stamp, Michele, but once you color, cut with the label and pop it up, it becomes a terrific disply of Autumn on a card.
What a clever way to stamp on a slimline card with the MISTI, Michele! Gorgeous leaves and beautifully cut! A beautiful way to usher in Autumn! I'm excited to have spotted a Monarch on my lantana this noon!
Oh, that is a fabulous die and those autumn leaves look right at home with it! Beautiful card, Michele. So happy you could join us at Just Us girls!
What a unique and great design with a spotlight effect, Michele! Great use of the slimline label die. I admire that you're always thinking outside the box!
