PTI August Blog Hop Challenge: Happy Fall

I can't believe I haven't blogged since the last PTI Blog Hop!  This month's challenge is a Brown Bag challenge, check out the details here.  Here's my card for the challenge.




I'm incorporating the fall theme with the brown bag by cutting leaves from a paper sack and stamping with distress inks.  I spiced up the leaves by tracing the veins of the leaves with a Copic Spica pen.






The sentiment is stamped on Orange Zest cardstock that was cut using a Spellbinder double ended tag and then trimmed, a tip I learned from Debbie Olson.  The tag is attached with Chocolate Baker's twine with a chartreuse button.



Thanks for stopping by the blog and I will try to post more frequently.
