Happy Fall Card

It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my TFS teammates and I are celebrating Fall/Autumn. I created a fall scene with Sugar Delights Clear Stamp Set 1045 and Fresh Air Clear Stamp Set 1048, both by Autour de Mwa for AALL and Create. There are several more stamp sets and individual stamps that coordinate together to make scene building easy and fun, so much so that I'll be adding to my collection sooner than later!

Here's the 5.5" x 8.5" card. It had to be big!
