For today's card, I broke out the beautiful Simple Stories Harvest Lane 6x6 collection. I love the country look, with the different plaid, gingham, striped, and woodgrain patterns. The sweet pumpkins from Lawn Fawn's So Thankful set are colored with Copics and popped up with some Sticky Thumb Dimensional Dots. The clear crystal flourish by Zva Creative makes a perfect accent and really glams things up beautifully. See the strip of crochet trim along the left? It's 1/2" Ivory Self-Adhesive Lace Fabric Tape by Love My Tapes, and it's amazing! So easy to work with, since the adhesive is already on the trim. Simply peel off the backing to adhere. The tiny twine bows on the pumpkins are done with some Natural Twine String Thread by Creative Impressions.



From here, you're visiting Robin Shakoor. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy the hop! We hope to see you and your creations this week on Paper Craft Planet!
