Fall Graphics

I'm up north again this weekend.  It is a bit rainy and cold, strange weather for August.  The chill indicates fall is right around the corner, perfect for the color challenge at Fab Friday!  However, I didn't bring any fall stamps with me.  I love the colors of the challenge and started playing around with flowers.  I wasn't feeling it and have made so many flower cards lately.  Then I spied the Taylored Expressions die out of the corner of my eye and had an ahh-haa moment.  I thought a graphic card would be perfect for the challenge.

Aren't these colors gorgeous together?

I ran all of the challenge colors through the Big Shot with the die and used the Tip Top Taupe as the "frame" piece.  I randomly inserted the cut outs and left a few open to let the white card base show through as I liked the pop of white.  The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive, edged in Tangelo Twist and flagged the end which was layered over a think Blackberry Bliss flag.  Simple and graphic, just what I wanted.  


Stop in at Fab Friday for some terrific inspiration, or play along with these fabulous colors.

Happy Stamping,
Dana
