You Make Me Smile...

Hi there!  As you can see, I'm still using up some Indian Summer scraps.  The piece of patterned paper I used is sort of busy and complicated.  It is so pretty and interesting, but I was perplexed by how to use it.

I made this card a couple weeks ago at my "Girls Craft Night" and was not happy about how it turned out.  Initially I just had the patterned paper on the bottom and the sentiment with stitching around the top.  It was kind of boring and and blah.  This morning I added the other half of patterned paper to the top and added some faux stitching beneath it.  I really like how it turned out.  I think it's kind of COOL.

The little leaf next to the sentiment is a rub-on.  It comes from this Basic Grey Olio Rub-On Book that coordinates with Indian Summer.
