{Friends with Flair} on the First Day of Fall

Yay! It's Friends with Flair day!! Check the Unity blog for blog hop details and a list of today's participants. I'm in the lineup. :)

And not only is it FWF Day, it's also the first day of Autumn. Hoo-ray!! I'm celebrating with this little fall card.
I'll admit, it's dripping with {ippity} goodness. The banners come from {ippity}'s The Best, the background that I masked into the large banner is {ippity}'s A Bit of Burlap, the sentiment comes from {ippity}'s Moon Beams & Heart Strings, and the leaves are from {ippity}'s Now & Always. Having no fall-themed stamps from Unity, it was a fun challenge using these decidedly non-autumn-y stamps to make my "Autumn-with-a-capital-A" card.

I made this fabric flower with a torn strip of quilting calico. (Click HERE for a tutorial.)

This card was inspired by these challenges:

• {ippity} Challenge: Fall (use Ippity/Unity stamps to create a project inspired by autumn)
• Unity Stamp Company Challenge: Falling Leaves (any project, created with Unity/Ippity stamps, with leaves on it)
• Ribbon Carousel Challenge: #21 Add fabric, and be sure to include some type of ribbon, twine, hemp, lace....basically, anything that comes on a spool.(I used some hemp twine.)

I hope that your first day of autumn is crisp and colorful! Thanks for stopping by today to see what's making me happy. :)
