Good Morning & Happy Friday Stamping Friends!!!!!

It's time for a new challenge @ Simply Create Too & for the next 2 weeks we want to see your Fall/Autumn creations.  I used a new stamp set called For All Things along with my new Color Me Autumn DSP to make my creation for today!  I spent a little time perusing the sketches from the Deconstructed Sketch blog & I settled on this one because I felt it went perfectly with my stamp set.  I love the texture from the woodgrain embossing folder & I thought the leaves/acorns would be a fun addition to my design.  I  also couldn't do without just a bit of bling so I used a few rhinestones to finish it off.  I'm very, very pleased with the final result & I think it makes a pretty good masculine card!  My teammates also made some wonderful creations so check out our blog to see what they came up with & while you're there; read up on our rules so you can play along with us!  I'm looking forward to seeing your Fall/Autumn works of art....have fun everyone & happy stamping!!!!!
