Grateful Card

Hooray! I found some more great challenge sites, and I'm dying to play.  Here's a card I made for a friend who just gave us some of her old bookshelves, so of course I needed a thank you card.  (She's also a Stampin' Up demonstrator so it has to be a good one!)

I found my inspiration from 2 different challenges, I used the color palette from The Cameo Spotlight challenge.   It's to use deep red, deep orange & harvest gold.  I love the fall feel to them. 


and I used the following sketch from The Fab Friday Challenge Blog:


Put 'em together and here's what I came up with: 


I used the SU colors Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and More Mustard and cut the trees with my Silhouette Cameo.  The more I use that thing, the more I love it!  I love that you can have so many images available right at your fingertips when the urge to create something hits you.  Thanks for looking!  I'm super grateful :)
