I've been trying to do the FMS3 sketch challenge over on Freshly Made Sketches all week. I thought that Stampin' Up!'s set, Gently Falling, would be perfect for it!
I changed mine up a little bit…I used the big panel for my Give Thanks sentiment panel instead of placing it under the panel.
I started with a base of Soft Suede cardstock and layered on Crumb Cake. I used my Color Spritzer and Soft Suede Marker in the corners and added a strip of Spice Cake Designer Paper with a Scallop Border Punch of Early Espresso. I stamped GIve Thanks in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped off with a few of the leaf images in Gently Falling in the opposite corners. It is layered on Early Espresso.
For the leaves, I did the Rock & Roll technique. One is Pumpkin Pie with Old Olive edges, the other is More Mustard with Cherry Cobbler edges stamped on Very Vanilla. Then I stamped the two-step outline stamp over top in Early Espresso and cut them out. I tucked them behind a Spice Cake Designer Button that is tied with Spice Cake fabric. I LOVE that look! The Gently Falling stamp set makes stamping leaves SO easy!
Hope you like it…I thought it turned out nice!
This is fantastic!!! I love the subtle leaves on the sentiment panel! The fabric is the perfect final detail!
This is beautiful! Love the fabric and the button! Great look!
Gorgeous Connie. Your rock-and-roll leaves look fantastic and I love that piece of fabric tied through the button. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!

This is way better than just "nice" Connie! I love this! That fabric and button really set it off. The leaves are just stunning! The trees are starting to turn here. Thanks for sharing it with us. Now, I have to remember to get the fabric too!
Very nice job Connie…love the fabric and combination of colors you picked.
Connie, this is soo beautiful … I love your subtle stamping and spritzing of the main panel and your leaf embellishments are simply eye catching … gorgeous button treatment too!
Thank you for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!!!
Okay–so I wasn't a fan of the fabric but everyone keeps using this spice fabric for bows and I love it. Maybe SU could sell strips of fabric that we could buy for ribbons or someone could do a fabric strip share. I need me some of this fabric to make bows <g>. Oh, wait, I guess I can just buys some fabric, huh. Thks for another pretty card. I love Falling Leaves and in 5 more days I can order all the stuff from the mini.
Oh Connie! This is simply stunning! Love the colors, love the sentiment and I really LOVE the leaves in those colors–they just pop off the page! Gorgeous card! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
