Hiya friends! Welcome to another week of the Create with Connie & Mary Thursday Challenge. It's a sketch week at CCMC and we know how you love sketches! I think you're really going to love this one:
Cute, right? Easy-peasy and a great sketch for showing off some beautiful patterned paper as in the gorgeous new Spice Cake designer paper featured in today's card:

Oh, these colors are swoon-worthy! Soft Suede, More Mustard and Pool Party that I've combined with the Day of Gratitude set. Would you like to see some details? I inked the large medallion from Day of Gratitude in Soft Suede ink and then dabbed on Champagne Mist shimmer paint for a sparkly effect:
The Pool Party & More Mustard leaves on the main panel were highlighted with Dazzling Details and the edges were embossed with gold stampin' emboss powder:
This is such as easy technique and really gives a cool effect! Just drag the edges of cardstock on a Versamark pad, dip into embossing powder and heat set! Makes a great gilded edge, don'tcha think? And I can't let you go without a peek at the inside:
More designer paper to match--just scraps from the front--and a leaf that was rock-n-rolled in Pool Party and More Mustard. Love this sentiment from an oldie but goodie: Falling Leaves.
So, there you have it! I would love to hear what you think of today's card! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team inspiration over at Create with Connie & Mary where it's also the Holiday Edition preview period. We would love to have you join us this week and can't wait to see what you do with the sketch! If you decide to play along, please link your project at Create with Connie & Mary by Wednesday, September 14th at 12 noon (EST). Thanks for stopping by!

This card is great with the 64 degrees we are enjoying here this morning; I can actually feel a hint of fall. :) I love that dsp and all the fabulous elements you added to dress it up. The ribbon/thread, the medallion stamp on the background, and the hint of glitter all add up to make a beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteStunning card, Nance! I love the colors you have used ... they look fabulous together! I love this stamp set and how you have you used it ... love the glitter!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Fall card Nance, I really like the colors and the "glitz" you've added to everything to make a CAS card sparkle!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous---what a cool technique! I should try this with my club girls!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Great color combo and since I love leaf images loving it all the more. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeletelovely card Nance! The colors are just yummy together and I love your gold edges! Time for a Pumpkin Spice Latte! :)
ReplyDeleteNance very nice indeed! Love the Spice Cake 'anything'... one of the best favs ever. I absolutely love how you did the gilded edge... super cool. Pool party & mustard leaves just sparkle and the BG medallion is peeking out. Perfect! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I just love all the sparkle!! And I love the way you did the ribbon!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely! This is such a great color combo for fall. I especially love the unexpected addition of blue and the bit of shimmer. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteNice sparkle and glitz all over your card. Especially love the embossed edge of your stamped panel!
ReplyDeleteI love all that sparkly goodness! The embossing on the edges is a really neat idea. It really adds some oomph!
ReplyDeleteWow, Nance! The embossed edges are gorgeous! What a beautiful fall card!
ReplyDeleteOh, wonderful touch with the embossed edges...I'm sure it really makes it POP in real life! Love what you did with the sketch!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I never thought of embossing around the edges, but it's perfect for this fall card! Your sketch creation is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat great stamps and paper for this sketch! A lovely Thanksgiving card!
ReplyDeleteSuch a PRETTY fall card! I love it! Great working with you on CCMC!
ReplyDeleteI love this card! The details are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love that Soft Suede medallion in the upper left and your little embossing details is gorgeous. Great job!
ReplyDeleteNance, this is gorgeous! I had never thought to emboss the edges...what a great idea! I also love that you stamped behind the ribbon. So many times we have 'empty' space and can't figure out what to do with it. This is the perfect option! TFS.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful card! I like this sketch and what you did with it. I liked it so well I cased it. :) http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2453344?&cat=500&ppuser=77935
