It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! It’s a neutral color challenge to try this week!

GATHERING MOMENTS
I’m using another new Online Exclusive this week called Gathering Moments (available for demo preorder now and customers beginning Sept 3)! It’s a whole Suite of products with a stamp/die bundle, Designer Paper, Embossing Folder, colored Linen Thread and embellishments! I’ve used a few of those items on today’s card!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pecan Pie cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Beige cardstock is stamped with the large leaf in Pecan Pie Ink and the leaf branch with Early Espresso Ink randomly all over.
- A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Gathering Together DSP was added across the front.
- The arch was cut from Basic Beige cardstock with the Everyday Arches Die and stamped along the bottom with the Gathering Moments sentiment in Early Espresso Ink. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The large leaf and two acorns were stamped with Pecan Pie Ink and the leaf branch with Early Espresso Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Gathering Moments Dies. They were added to the arch with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Early Espresso Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the leaves with a Mini Glue Dot.
- Three gold Low Profile Dots were added to the background.
