Autumn Thanks

A new challenge at Always Playing With Paper has the inspirational sketch

And The Paper Players challenge is Fall Thank You cards
So here is my twofer--though this time it is two challenges not two cards.
I have to admit, I loved DJ's (who is guest designer for the challenge this week) card so much I pretty much CASEd it.The DP's here are from Stampin" Up from last year. They are called sweater weather. If you click on the picture for a close up, you can see the sweater texture in that orange. I made an "autumn moon" by punching out a circle in Kraft cardstock and sponging some orange on the border. The 3 tabs are from the same cardstock punched with SU Bitty Banner Punch. The thanks is cut from the orange DP with framelit die from SU. I die cut 3 words and stacked them to give more dimension. I thought I was done but something seemed missing. So I went searching in my embellisments and found the square gold brads and added them to each banner.
Oh, BTW here is DJ's card

  3. I love both your cards, Donna. I think those little square brads on the first one were a great touch, but I really like the second one, too. This is a great sketch to use. The layers add so much interest.

  4. Thank you, my friend, for CASEing my autumn card! I love the cozy sweater quality of yours in those warm colors and the addition of the square brads was inspired! I think I may just go add the same touch to mine. If there's one thing I have a lot of (cough) it's brads so I love the chance to use some! Hugs, Darnell
