Fall Themed Card

After a record breaking high of 115 here in California last week, it is so nice to have a little rain today. It feels like Fall is finally here. I am always in need of thank you cards and created this Fall themed card to accompany the weather. I created the background paper by inking up a texture plate. I always get so nervous when I try this technique but it always comes out perfectly. I should know it's just plastic and the ink washes right off, but applying the ink to the plate makes me squirm. The results are worth the effort and I am happy with my card and the weather:)

Paper - cajun craze, chocolate chip and very vanilla card stock
Ink - chocolate chip, cajun craze, more mustard, daffodil delight
Stamps - Autumn Splendor, Afterthoughts ( hostess), Notably Ornate, Woodgrain
Accessories - linen thread, dotted scallop ribbon border punch, antique brad, dimensionals
