It is really FALL

We went on a gimmick rally this weekend.  Have you ever been on one?  You need a driver, (hubby) and a navigator, (me).  Then you need a group of people all doing the same thing, for the competition, as it is all in fun.  The group provided a map of the route and the 6 pages of pictures of things to look for and spot on the route.  We got 25 out of the 36. Not as easy as you think to do, as there is a lot of yelling in the car, maps on your lap and pictures to look at all the while telling the driver where to go.  Boy would I have like to tell the driver where to go!  Lol  All in fun , and yes we are still loving each other.  But along the way, you get to see some beautiful sites and colors.  That is what inspired me to make this card yesterday. 

I am entering this card in these challenges today.

Here is the recipe for this card. 

GKD  Card stock in Charcoal Brown, Pure White
GKD stamp kit, The Simple Things, A Year of Leaves, and Birthday greetings
Distressed Inks, Crushed Olive, Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint, and Rusty Hinge
3D Stamp Paint in Copper
Green Rafia ribbon and Gold embossing Powder
Embossing folder, Moutain Meadow

I did the ombre effect on the white panel and stamped the brick panel onto the tag.  The leaves are cut with my cameo and after coloring, I used the copper 3D paint.  I wish you could see the sparkle.  Birthday Wishes sentiment is embossed with gold powder and the whole tag is placed into the ombre panel.

Thanks for stopping by and if you leave a comment, as always, it is appreciated.
