A Basket Case for Color Throwdown #61


The colors for this week's throwdown definitely remind me of fall, especially fall in South Florida. While we don't do traditional fall, the light changes and colors mute a little. Here's the challenge offered by The Color Throwdown:



For some reason, the ink, stamps and I never quite got on the same page. So tonight's card is paper pieced. The papers are Basicgrey and Fancypants and the pieces are just handcut.
 

I cut the brown strips about 3/4" wide, wove them on top of the cardstock basket shape and then just used a glue stick to hold it all down. The flowers are just cut circles with inked edges. Truly a quick and easy card!

    So...in order to be neighbors and gain FREE REIGN of your sewing machine, I'm going to have to move from VA to FL! I'll let you know when that happens and we can inspire each other! LOL
