I know it's a little early (or late!) to be thinking of fall but I had this watercolored apple bucket sitting on my desk for a few months that I never got around to putting on a card. So I decided to finally do something with it, using Card Positioning System's (CPS) sketch challenge to make a fall-themed card.
After watercoloring the image on watercolor paper with Stampin' Up! dye reinkers and an Aqua Painter, I sponged the edges with tea dye Distress Ink. It is matted with real red cardstock and the sentiment stamped on burgundy cardstock.
The paisley layer was a tag from DaisyD's Gypsy Paisley collection (yum-O!) that I trimmed the top tag part off and the chocolate tapestry pattern is Hazelnut from the same collection. This layer's corners were clipped with SU's ticket corner punch.
Burgundy-red fibers were tied around the card and a copper flower charm hung from them. The card base is real red and measures 4.25" x 5.5".
