I started out by stamping my saying from Sweet N Sassy Stamps clear set called Timless Hymns in memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap vanilla card stock before layering and adding brads. I then distressed one of the layers using a fingernail before setting aside. For my card, I dry embossed a pumpkin pie card base using a dusty Cuttlebug Pumpkin Harvest embossing folder and my big shot before stippling some spiced marmalade distress ink over the embossed images and card edges.. I then adhered some silk leaves I've had for years and haven't used up yet using glue dots before adding my layered saying using pop up glue dots. After adding a gold bow and kraft thread, I decided the brads were just not working for me. I then layered gold ice stickles over each of the brads until I was happy with it. As an afterthought, I put some of the gold ice stickles on a finger and rubbed it over the card base before color spritzing more mustard/always artichoke markers over everything. I'm really happy with how this turned out since I'm still dealing with a migraine.

Omy gosh, this worked out to be a fabulous idea! Totally love it. Your gold Stickling was the perfect touch! I have to tell you, one of my girlfriends texted me asking how I was liking our "California Weather" (that's what we call it when the humidity is so low, sunny and temps in 80's or 70's). I was able to text her back and tell her, that's really what it is, my friend in CA is having same weather, lol. Her brother lives out there so we had a good smile. XOX
