I'm doing my best to get back on track and catch up with the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place and I'm getting closer. Yesterday was the Letter "H" and on my card I used: Hexagons, Harvested pumpkin, Holiday (Thanksgiving), Harvest gold, Hansa yellow, and Honey orange; these three colors are in the fall leaves still clinging to the tree branch.
This time I printed the Autumn Window image (from Beccy's Place) in medium gray scale, then colored it with ProMarkers and gel pens. I cut the image and all the frames/mats with dies from QuicKutz. I cut the card shape with the largest QuicKutz die in that set. I printed the sentiment and cut it with an Avery Elle die. I found one of my hand-sewn, 'signature' style bows in my stash, and 'dyed' it with a ProMarker. This time, I added an orange sequin.
I spend a weekend about once every 3 to 4 months, sewing together those bows by the dozens. I use nothing but white ribbon to make them and then I can dye them whatever color I need to work best with the colors of the card I'm making.

What a labour of love those little bows are NanaConnie, and what a fabulous idea to use white ribbon so you can die them to match your project. You've done a great job with today's card, I like the dies you used for the base and the sweet little sentiment tab.
Cheers,
Beccy
