I'm excited to share with you my card using the sketch I designed for this week's Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA17)! I used the versatile Falling Leaves set and a pinecone patterned print from the Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper package to make my Thanksgiving themed card. The modern patterned leaves are stamped onto Whisper White in Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie, Lovely Lilac, and Real Red, then punched out and matted onto Soft Suede. A seasonal sentiment is stamped in Chocolate Chip onto Whisper White and highlighted by a mat of Pumpkin Pie. Lilac brads add the perfect accent of color and balance. The finishing touch...a band of Kiwi Kiss tied with Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon in Soft Suede! Join in the fun and play along! I can't wait to see what you come up with using my sketch for PPA17!
All supplies used are Stampin' Up!, unless otherwise noted:
Paper: Kraft, Soft Suede, Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie card stock; Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper
Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie, Lovely Lilac, Real Red, Chocolate Chip
Tools: 1-1/4" Square punch
Extras: Lilac brads (my embellishment stash), Soft Suede 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

What a cute card, I love the leaves at the rotating angles! The Kiwi Kiss strip under the ribbon really brings the whole thing together for me. And as usual, a great sketch too. Hope to be able to play later this weekend!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
