I used this week's Techno Stamper Lunchtime Sketch since I wanted to use leaves and the circle was perfect for what I needed. The leaf image is from a Studio G Stamp I got at Michael's last year and still love using.
I embossed the vanilla panel with the distressed stripes embossing folder, swiss dotted the mustard panel to go with the dots on the leaves (any excuse will do LOL!) and added French Script to the poppy panel - though it is hard to see in the picture. A touch of brown ribbon as a neutral and a itsy bitsy cheat by using a piece of kraft for the sentiment panel. The Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.
