and here is my version:
Have I got over my excitement about the Autumn Meadows designer paper? Er... no, I haven't as you can see! Here's another beautiful paper from the pack, all distressed and gorgeous! I sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip ink, just to give it a bit of definition, and added some torn and distressed Really Rust card stock wrapped with some Chocolate Chip stitched ribbon that I pinched in with a piece of knotted linen thread. The leaf is from the coordinating stamp set Autumn Splendor, and it's layered on a couple of punched circles with dimensionals. A finishing sentiment, positioned with my stamp-a-majig and there we have it!
Supplies
Stamps: Autumn Splendor, Sincere Salutations
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Card stock: Very Vanilla, Really Rust
Other: Autumn Meadows designer paper, stitched grosgrain ribbon in Chocolate Chip, linen thread, 1 3/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches
I'm having so much fun with this designer paper and there are plenty of other designs up my sleeve! In fact, watch this space because there may be a special offer pack coming soon...
It's another birthday weekend for us this weekend and we'll be having a picnic-in-the-park party, so fingers crossed for the weather. Fingers also crossed for the England football team to astonish us with an impressive performance! Right, I think that's enough crossed fingers for the time being.
Have a fantastic weekend, wherever you are.
I think this is absolutely beautiful, and will be CASEing like mad ! Well done !

Hi Alex - the distressed edge of the card stock is made by tearing, sponging with a sponge dauber and then (the best bit!) attacking it with my fingernails! Best done when you're feeling a bit miffed!
