This is the card that I made for this week’s Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I love fall colors and this card really lends itself to showing them off!

Here’s the sketch for the challenge. So simple but by your color choice you can make it for lots of occasions; bright for birthday, reds and greens for Christmas, red white and blue for July 4th, etc.

Crushed Curry Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Very Vanilla Layer - 5 1/4 x 4
Strips of cardstock - 4 x 1/4 (I used Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie),
Put adhesive on the Very Vanilla Card Base and lay out the strips following a color pattern and shifting the strips up and down.
(Note: I did it this way and ended up crooked so I cut off the Very Vanilla background layer, cutting around the strips. Then I adhered the piece to another Very Vanilla Layer making sure they looked straight and centered. Soooo, you may want to just adhere the pieces to a small piece of cardstock to get them lined up and then adhere to the Very Vanilla Layer - hope this makes sense.)
Blackberry Bliss Strip - 4 1/2 x 1
Very Vanilla Strip - 4 1/2 x 1/2. Stamp sentiment with Blackberry Bliss Ink. Adhere to the Blackberry Bliss strip.
Adhere the sentiment strip to the layer on an angle and trim off the edges that hang over. (Tip - trim from the back.)
Cut leaf from Crushed Curry using the Autumn Leaves Dies and adhere with a Dimensional.
Adhere layer to card base.
