CPS #186 & CTD #112


Hi folks!  Just a quick post tonight to share a card I made using the sketch at Card Positioning Systems and the Color Throwdown challenge colors.


I pulled out Fall Fest by Practicing Creativity to stamp and layer the leaves, then added the sentiment.  The sentiment looks a little fuzzy, but I tend to have that problem with PTI ink sometimes.  I also managed some machine stitching, but I'm still having issues with the tension on my machine.

Cardstock:  Stampin' Up! (Riding Hood Red), Papertrey Ink (Rustic White)
Patterned paper:  DCWV (Amber Autumn premium stack)
Stamps:  Practicing Creativity (Fall Fest)
Ink:  Papertrey Ink (Dark Chocolate, Chai tea dye), Martha Stewart (Fennel, Pumpkin), Clearsnap (Cranberry)
Tools:  Spellbinders (circle die)
Accessories:  Michaels (pearls), thread 

I hoped to finish a couple more challenges today, but a routine trip to the vet's office this morning turned into a cardiac ultrasound for my pup.  She has a slight heart murmur, but she's doing just fine!

Thanks for stopping in tonight!  I might be back with a card tomorrow if I can find some crafty time, but I will definitely have a post on Saturday that you won't want to miss, as it's the first day of Practicing Creativity sneak peeks!  Hope you'll plan to check it out!  Have a great Friday, friends.
