I was inspired by the color scheme and autumn in the form of stenciled leaves and pumpkin spice lattes (I usually buy myself one per year!). And out came a thank you card.
I used Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting dies to cut a panel of watercolor paper I'd watercolored with Gansai Tambis through the Leaf Prints stencil. Notice how I flipped the inner "frame" to mess up the stenciled panel a bit and make your eye work a bit more ;)
I sure hope you'll jump in and join us for some die cutting fun this month over at the CUTplorations challenge. Just make a project using die cuts based on our inspiration graphic. Be sure to use at least one STAMPlorations product and hook up to the gallery. As always, Shery is being generous with prizes for the winning projects. Check out the great ways the new CUTplorations DT was inspired by this month's photo. Here's the link.
Don't forget about my STAMPlorations discount code for 20% off in the sidebar if you're in a hurry to get your hands on some new goodies like this great-for-fall phrase die ;)

Definitely autumnal Maria.
The footy is of course soccer to Americans. He plays in a Man v Fat league as well as helping organising it. It's a weightloss group for blokes that caters for the more more generously girthed males. He probably watched the afternoon Premier League match on SKY TV too. :)
Oh my stars! Great minds, indeed! I've bypassed 'smitten by' and 'crushing over' and headed straight to LOVE! You've showcased my most favourite stencil beautifully - and I like the 'twist' that certainly does make our eyes gaze with even greater wonder and delight!

Great card Maria, love how you've used the leaf print stencil, clever twist, Cathy x
Very cool, Maria! I love the flipped frame, it's definitely provocative... in a good sense :)!
Very soft and pretty!
This is genies Maria. So very eye catching with your colour choice. Thanks for the warm welcome and like the other new girls - EXCITED to be part of the CUTplorations Team.
Fabulous background you have created and I love your gold sentiment.
Thank you for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week.

Your watercoloring is breath-taking as always, Maria! I love how you played with the framing! And I love that you playing in my NBUS Challenge #12! Thank you so much!! Hugs, Darnell
Just gorgeous, Maria ... yes, my eye was working hard taking in the cool flipped panel ... should've read down first before figuring it out!! Hugs, Anita :)
Love.
