Kim has a fabulous design for Freshly Made Sketches #756! Tell me, does this get your creative juices flowing?
When it comes to choosing what goes into that main box, I wanted
to pay homage to the one flower in my porch pot that never lets me down:
the Geranium! Oh, the Coleus are still going strong, too - hey, why haven't I
ever seen a stamp featuring those? I digress... here's my card:
Another SB Betterpress-ed sentiment from Yana pressed in brown
along with lots of Fall-ish colors bring those deep reds to life, right?
HoneyBee's Burlap EF always does the trick for texture.
Okay, that's all folks except to invite you to COME PLAY! And if you want
even better inspiration, go see what Kim and the DT have to offer - they
always knock my socks off!

Red geraniums are my favorite for the front porch and the back deck too! You have captured that beautiful red perfectly, my friend! And this one will bloom on long after frost hits!
ReplyDeleteAll that texture! Sigh... Love it and the geraniums are just popping of the card!
ReplyDeleteSadly, my Geraniums are just sticks in the pot right now, but yours are GORGEOUS Michele!! I love the subtle shading on them and the surrounding deep green leaves too! I love that embossed background texture also! Really beautiful Fall card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOoohhh... this is pretty! Love your colors and textures!
ReplyDeleteOh, gasp! This is just so beautiful, warm, and wonderful! These dies are so realistic, and the Burlap has been on my wish list forever. I love a red geranium best of all. Your addition of the mustard color enhances the red and green all the more, and the kraft -- yes, please!
