Autumnal Magnificent Maple

Happy Birthday to me!!  

I've had a lovely day with my Hubby who has spoilt me rotten and the children were up early to give me my pressies then we had a lovely meal after school. 

In amongst all my wonderful surprises I've found some time to have a crafty play and made this card.  It follows the design from Less is More.  You can see this below.

I've started off with a 6" by 6" textured card base.  I added a Whisper White layer with the centre cut out.  I stamped the Magnificent Maple in Cajun Craze, More Mustard and Bravo Burgundy.  Some of the leaves have been stamped off first.  I then added a Brushed Bronze button from my stash with some Crochet Trim Ribbon.  The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners and stamped in Cajun Craze then attached to a mount of Cajun Craze and popped up on some Dimensionals. 

This card is heading off to one of the ladies in my Card Swap Group where we were challenged to use a theme of Autumn. 

I was flooded today with lots of beautifully handmade cards from the card swap ladies and friends.  I must post them on my blog as they are too amazing not to share.  I feel very guilty as I've missed quite a few of the card swap ladies birthdays so skates on for a catch up and some How do cards instead.  

But before I rush off and forget I must tell you about the exciting news from Stampin' Up! for October.  Did they know it was my birthday??
