Dreams of Autumn

This week's Freshly Made Sketch #175 sure is a clean and simple one.  I think it will go great with this week's tangy color challenge from Nacho Average Challenge #130!
Now, I think my brain must be wired to see these colors as autumnal.  Maybe because we don't really get Fall where I live in AZ!  I tried a couple things to pull this out of that season, lol, but in the end, this card made me happiest, so there we go.  I have to admit, though, I'm excited to get to indulge my "for all seasons" dreams with this stamp set so early!  We are all so lucky I don't stamp with this set, Sheltering Tree, every day of the week!
This time 'round, I am particularly pleased with how I made my rake "lean" on the tree trunk:  I cut down a dimensional for the rake tines, but glued the handle down with a tiny speck of glue.  I think it really adds a touch of dimension in a fun way...

Gorgeous card and you've used those colors so well together! They look autumnal to me too and living in the Southern Hemisphere, we're just coming into autumn so it's perfect :) Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.

These colors said autumn to me, too, and I had to look long and hard through my stamp stash to find something else that would work but then again I don't have Sheltering Tree ;) Love your autumn card, it looks great! Thanks for playing in the Nacho color challenge this week!

Yes, these colors lend themselves to a fall-themed card. Great job! I love the stamped "leaves" underneath the tree.
