Fall is right around the corner, and we have some colorful layers to brighten up your next autumn card.
The air is getting a little crisper in the mornings, and the dog days of summer are passing quickly. This leads us into fall and a season of bounty and thanksgiving. Today’s card, created by Marla, has a hint of fall color mixed with a few summer brights. This is a perfect way to slowly transition your cardmaking into the fall season. We love the layers she created using our amazing 5719D Small Scallop w/ Holes Nested Dies. This nested dies set is such a beautiful addition to all of our cards.
