Hello. Did you know that you still have time to play along with us at Time Out. This week, our challenge is Inspired by Words. We have this quote by American poet William Cullen Bryant:
"Autumn...the year's last, lovliest smile."
I inked up PTI's Brushed Off in a variety of fall colors, then added a sentiment and die cut leaves. This quote inspired me to use fall colors and to make a card that should bring a smile to the recipient.
Quick and easy (especially if you overlook the tiny smudge...) This card will accompany one of the Thanksgiving baskets I usually make for the homebound elderly. I am pretty sure they will forgive the smudge, because I do not have time for a redo this week.
I hope that you will take some Time Out to play along with us this week. Please see the Time Out challenge blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team and our guest designer, Glenda of My Paper Cat.
I am also linking this up at Simon Says Monday challenge: Autumn is in the Air.
Thanks for Visiting
I am always making smudges like this and don't re-do...it is only us that notice-I wouldn't have seen it if you didn't mention it! The open leaves like this allow us to see that gorgeous Autumn background x
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have noticed the smudge if you hadn't sent me looking! Love, love, love the rich colors on this card Joyce!
ReplyDeleteThis is positively gorgeous. What a great way to use those brush strokes, and the colors are luscious. I too didn't notice the smudge until you pointed it out! Not to worry!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty, Joyce! The smudge is just part of the brushstrokes, right? Why not? I love your rich, fall colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall colors Joyce, this is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous dry brush strokes in beautiful fall colors. What more could you ask for in an autumn card.
ReplyDeleteWhat smudge? LOve those strokes, and your chosen colors!

ReplyDeleteThe colors are so rich and pretty. Love how you used the brush strokes with the modern leaf die cuts!
ReplyDeleteLove your use of the brush stroke stamp!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to talk myself out of both the Brushed Off stamp set and the leaf die. How can I do that when you make a card like this!!! And I didn't notice the smudge :-)
ReplyDeleteThose rich autumn colours are just gorgeous, Joyce ... such a great backdrop to those leafy outlines! Didn't see the smudge, btw! Hugs, Anita :)
