Back to Fall

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I thought I'd take a break from Christmas cards.


I think chrysanthemums are so pretty in the Fall and I have a hard time
choosing between the button mums and daisy mums.

Today I choose the daisy mum and added a bit of burlap ribbon for
a rustic Fall feel.

I recently had a session or two watching video tutorials, die cutting and shaping flowers
using my NBUS dies from Susan's Autumn Flora collection.

I also used them to decorate these Dollar Store pumpkins for my
Craft Group swap.  I saved one of the daisy mums for my card.

Your pumpkins are wonderful, Bonnie. That's a lot of flower making and I'm glad you saved one for the beautiful Fall card. Rustic is my thing so I'm loving the strip of burlap.

The fall card is very nice and elegant. White bloom against the brown ribbon makes a great effect. You've decorated Dollar Store pumpkins very nice. It is a nice attention for your friends.
