I used the sketch and directions from Sheetload of Cards November sketch. The base is Basis Tan. The leaves and saying is from Autumn Blessings by Sweet n Sassy Stamps. The rest of the papers are Basis Brown, Coco Ruche Crepe and Khaki Ruche Crepe. The leaves on the Basis Brown were stamp with Versamark and clear embossed. I used Skittles from Pez A Doodle around the saying.

Bunny

I got a chance to create today and it felt so good to pull out stamps that I have not inked in awhile. The bunny and saying are part of Hugs for Janessa from Sweet n Sassy stamps. The DP is DCVW just not sure what paper pack. I am trying to use up scraps. The ribbon is Mary Arts. The sketch is from Sweet N Sassy's weekly sketch challenge.
