Today I am playing along with this week's challenge from Freshly Made Sketches. It is my first time playing along with this challenge group. Fall has started to show here in Austin and while we have gotten loads of rain the weather has also started to cool, which is a major relief. As I took a walk around our neighborhood, I came across a garden with a group of beautiful zinnias that were blooming in the most vibrant colors. I knew I had to use that as inspiration for today's card. So here it goes...
Here is the sketch...
And here is my card...

The beautiful patterned paper is from Victorian Gardens by Cassandra Cooper and I think it is just the perfect green for fall. The die cut shapes were the closest I had to re-creating the "zinnia" effect, but I love the deep, rich colors against the green background. The "Get Well Soon" sentiment was chosen as yours truly is battling the first cold of the fall/winter season...kid germs are the worst. Perhaps I will send this card to myself in the mail.
Keep Austin Crafty!!
