I wish I could say that there is the nip of fall in the air, but today it's 90° outside! So instead I made a fall-themed card. I love this TAC stamp set, charcoalleaves - it's so versatile.

* Base is Green 3 Colored Cardstock (V-100, page 113), edges inked with VersaMagic Hint of Pesto Chalk Ink (S-958, page 118)
* charcoalleaves (T-2122, page 47) stamped with VersaMark (S-1179 page 118) for background; additional leaves stamped with VersaMagic Hint of Pesto Chalk Ink (S-958, page 118)
* Large leaf from charcoalleaves (T-2122, page 47) stamped with Burnt Umber Palette Ink (TT-218, page 119) on Kraft Cardstock (V-244 page 112) layered on burlap ribbon
* Leaf chalked with Orange, Red and Green Basic Brights Chalk Kit (A-501, page 121) blended with the Tombow Blending Pen (F-20, page 121)
* "Thanks" (sentiment, T-195, page 78) stamped in Noir Palette Ink (TT-220, page 119) on a diecut cardstock tag from the Kamalaht paper pack (soarwithitcollection, V-830, page 21)
* Finished with ribbon and metallic brads

I wanted to do something with some of the patterned paper from TAC so I came up with this simple card. Unfortunately, the embossing on the tag didn't photograph too well.

* Paisley & swirls (springdream, Level C Hostess Set TC-2688, page 9) stamped in VersaMagic Sahara Sand Chalk Ink (S-972, page 118) on Premium White Cardstock (V-290, page 112) with edges inked in VersaMagic Pumpkin Spice Chalk Ink (S-961, page 118)
* Patterned paper from the Rustic Chic pack (wingitcollections, V-928, page 33)
* Diecut tag from the Essential Elements chipboard set (A-11, page 109) inked with a combination of: Pearlescent Olive from the Brilliance Dew Drops Earth Tone Set (S-7003, page 118), Galaxy Gold from the Brilliance Dew Drops Planetarium Set (S-7006, page 118) and Noir Pallette Ink (TT-220, page 119)
* "Especially for you" (sentiment, T-195, page 78) stamped in VersaMark (S-1179, page 118) and heat embossed with Gold Emboss Powder (S-773, page 122) on diecut tag
* Finished with ribbon and metallic brads

What a busy week! I finally got some stamps cut and ready to go, and a little time to play. Here is my first card, created almost entirely from my TAC starter kit:
