Gently Falling card for Monkey Challenge 71: Autumn

Here's a peek at an upcoming stamp set and designer paper in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini. You can order from it September 1, and trust me, you'll want to!

I stamped this card with the Gently Falling set, which coordinates beautifully with the Spice Cake dsp and fabric that you see here. I used Soft Suede and Baja Breeze inks and card stocks, along with 1/8" Early Espresso taffeta, a Regals brad, pearls and a couple of punches for the greeting, which is from Grateful Greetings. I love this combination! I stamped off the Baja Breeze for the inside of the leaf for a lighter touch. It's really pretty in person, though it's hard to pick up the delicate tone in the photo.

I created this card for this week's A La Card Monkey Challenge 71: Autumn + Sketch.
