Autumn Bookmark Card

I haven't done a bookmark card in awhile~I always get excited about them. ;)

 

It's a little gift I can pop in the mail.

Extraordinary

When teal pumpkins joined fall decor a few years ago (indicating food allergy awareness), it made me so happy!

This year I'm noticing blush/mauve/champagne increased in the palette.

Not to mention, I witnessed a double rainbow the other day!!!

All of these components were spinning in my mind when I created this fall card.

 I invested in a handful of summer paper packs...and I barely cracked into them.

I figured rainbows can ease into a fall card...and why not color in with teal and mauve.

This sentiment gets me every time~

There are days when I "snap"~

days when my whole self is shook.

The best I can do is breathe, pray, and try again tomorrow.

This powerful sentiment is stamped several times with black Staz On

over an alcohol ink-on-yupo creation.
