WINDSWEPT

Thanksgiving Day weather here in the Midwest was delightful warm and sunny.  But today's is a different matter indeed; cold winds are stirring the last of Autumn's leaves into a pre-winter frenzy.  This card, originally designed by Michelle Zindorf, captures today's moody sky.

Here are the details you need to create your own "Farewell to Fall" card:


CS:  Early Espresso, River Rock, Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, Old Olive
INK:  Whisper White craft pad, Soft Suede classic pad
TOOLS etc:  Square Lattice embossing folder, Little Leaves sizzlit, Big Shot; Pear Pizzazz Ruffled Ribbon; dimensionals; heat tool; stampin’ sponge
TECHNIQUE :  direct-to-paper

TIPS:  To create the windswept effect, swipe the Whisper White in pad across the Soft Suede CS several times in short strokes.  Craft ink takes longer to dry; use the heat tool to speed up the process.

Keep warm wherever you are!
