Gathering Together (for CC2C)

Rosanne and I are back with another Creating Coast to Coast! This month Rosanne picked the challenge ~ to create a card using Gathering Together DSP. I love this paper with it’s beautiful gold foiling. So pretty! So this month we are traveling from Pennsylvania, where Rosanne lives, to California, where I live. Enjoy the journey!

 

Here is Rosanne’s card:

 

Isn’t it gorgeous?! I love her gold arch and the 2 coordinating papers that she used. To read more about her card, click HERE.

Now, back to California to see what I created~

 

I used the sheet that has the Basic Beige background, for no particular reason! It’s a bit more subdued than the white, so I brightened it up with a layer of Early Espresso onto a Daffodil Delight base. I just love this paper! Want to see all of it? Here’s a peek ~

What you can’t really see in this picture are the gold foil veins in the leaves and in the plaids. It’s so pretty! If you love Fall, you’ll want some of this paper!

This weekend marks the first of the Fall season on the calendar. Does it feel like it where you live? We are still in the Dog Days of Summer here in California with temperatures in the high 90’s! I’m looking forward to the weather catching up with the calendar!
