How about a fall card today? It seems to me summer has just gotten started, but Labor Day is inching around the corner and the fall season comes soon thereafter. So. . . when it came to choosing which of these Backyard Birds Borders & Centers I would share today, I selected this pretty bird on thistle with its border of autumn leaves. The sentiment is from the new Nature’s Nested Sentiments Centers & Verse by JustRite. There’s something for every season in that set. All week the Stamper’s Dream Team is showcasing new JustRite stamps, and the projects are all wonderful!
I stamped in Palette Noir on hot press watercolor paper and watercolored with Tombow Markers. My designer papers are October Afternoon Fly a Kite. It sounds appropriate, doesn’t it? This particular collection is made for summer, but with these colors combined it does a good job of representing fall.
I hope you’ll have time to check out more of the team’s samples. I think you’ll enjoy them! I’ve posted the week’s schedule for your convenience:
Monday: Michelle , Cindy , Denise , Laurie , Amy
Tuesday: Denise , Cindy , Amy , Tosh , Cammie
Wednesday: Laurie , Leslie , Karen , Christina, Tosh
Thursday: Michelle , Leslie , Christina , Karen, Cammie
Thanks so much for dropping in today. Take care!

Fall is my favorite time of year, and this card showcases everything I love about that season. The color, the leaves (love those), especially the way you paired them up with the sentiment and the pretty thistle. This is a beautifully colored piece of art.
