I found this sentiment stamp years ago at a craft store and knew it would come in handy to make cards for those who need encouragement so I bought it and I'm glad I still have it in my collection.
I used snippets of fall colors of cardstock and designer paper to put this card together. I used a leaf die from Gina Marie Designs and cut it 3 times from rust and chocolate cardstock along with a very old snippet of retired SU! designer paper. I added an embossed strip with a Darice fall leaf embossing folder on the side along with another strip of chocolate and placed it on a soft colored cream card base. I'll enter this into the following challenges:
The Snippets Playground Challenge #467 - must use snippets
Can You Handle the Pressure? - A/G using an embossing folder with an optional twist of Thanksgiving/Turkey/Thanks
Shopping Our Stash SOS509 - Emboss like a Boss
the Sisterhood of Crafters - Fall Harvest
Wishing you all a wonderful fall day filled with happiness. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Yes that is a good sentiment to have - your colours look really good together on this card
This is so gorgeous Carol! I love that texture embossed panel and that large leaf die is so pretty! Encouragement cards are one of my favorites to make and this is very inspiring! LOVE it!!
I think this sentiment is perfect for anyone at any time... It's life at all. Surely is perfect to encourage someone that is under a bad weather. Well done buying it and using it for this beautiful card!! Love so much all the inlaid for the elegant leaf panel, and I'm sure you will use the leftovers for another card :) The pretty embossing on the rusty panel is very crisp and beautiful! A clean and lovely design suitable also for male recipients I think.
Have yourself a wonderful day! Hugs and love dear friend!
What a lovely encouraging card...and the fall colors and theme are beautiful too! LOVE that embossing folder..one of my favs!
