Autumn Love

There's a great challenge going on over at Tonic in support of OWH's birthday bash celebration, so I wanted to join in for this one. The challenge is to use your favorite Tonic punch and create an autumn-themed card. I really had to put my brain into overdrive to come up with this card, because the only Tonic punch I have is the double hearts you see on this card! Hearts and autumn...........hmmmm...........it took me a while to come up with an idea for a card. I used 2 stamp sets to coordinate the hearts punch and autumn theme and I thought "sending love when autumn leaves are falling" would work. The "sending love" is from a new SNSS stamp set called "Christmas Tags" and the bottom sentiment was done using a Paper Co Studio stamp set, and was done using True Thyme ink, stamped off once for a more subtle look. After cutting out the leaves, I sponged them with color and embossed them using clear detail ep.

Huge thanks to Tonic for having this great challenge in support of OWH, and be sure to click the link to get the rules for playing along!

That's it for me.............but I'll be back soon with more :)
