Happy TGIF! Fall is officially here and Dawn is joining us today with a pretty autumn color combo. I also have a fun save the date announcement at the bottom of this post that I think a few of you have been waiting on. 😉 First let’s hear from Dawn about her pretty projects!
Hey friends, Dawn here! I’ve been seeing these colors everywhere for Fall, be it in home decor, clothing and more, and the thing about color inspiration is that it can literally be found anywhere! So I busted out this pretty peach and a rust color and paired them together for a couple of thank you cards. Even more fun, is that you can reverse them on all of the elements of your two cards, and get two different but similar looks with literally zero extra effort!

I die cut two of the Square Dance dies for each card, and just reversed which one was on top. SO fun to create different looks this way! And I used the same Sentiment Starters dies on each, again just flip flopping which color I used. The “thanks” is from Sentiment Suite: Thank You, to finish off the sentiment.
Of course we needed some fall florals, so I used images from Budding Beauties: Autumn, again in those same peaches and rusts and just clustered three branches on each card….one with more leaves and one with more berries. SO fun and so simple!
Hope you’ll give this fun color combo a try for Fall! Have a great weekend, friends!
Save the Date…

Dawns cards are gorgeous, and I am so excited to see what Betsy has designed for her next collection as they are all so beautiful, creative and well thought out.

LOVE Dawn’s cards! Now I need to try that out…Love those Square Dance dies and stencils!! Looking forward to what’s ahead….!
Close to monochromatic but with a nice contrast, your cards definitely speak Fall. Such a nice design! Whether you live in Alaska with lots of snow or tropical Florida like me, the wonderful thing about card making is still enjoying the seasons and all it’s colors. Yeah Betsy! I’ve been excited for your release and counting the days!
Love the cards you made Dawn. Great color choices. Can’t wait for the sneak peeks of the new collection.
Gorgeous colors together! So warm and comforting! Love how Dawn used the die. Can’t wait for the new Christmas reveal!
So inspiring, Dawn! I just love your color palette of peach and rust. Can’t wait to play with Budding Beauties: Autumn this weekend! Betsy, we are all counting the days!!💗
Dawn, So, so cleaver the way you used Square Dance die. Hope
I get excited when I see you showcasing a project, as I always love what you do. These cards are no exception. Thanks for the idea of layering the die.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE, Dawn!!! I LOVE that Square Dance Die (SO FUN TO USE!) & how you off set it!!! Along with the PRETTY FLORALS!!! AND I SO LOOK FORWARD to seeing the “Merry Making Holiday Collection!!!” ;)<3
These two monochromatic cards are just so rich in autumnal colors, Dawn. Love the two-toned offset Square Dance cover plate as a backdrop. Eagerly awaiting your Merry Makings, Betsy!
Dawns creations are so wonderful…love fall colors. You can bet I am going to be available for the sneaks for the holiday release. I am feeling lucky because it is coming out on my birthday!!! October 6th… can’t wait!

Dawn, such pretty cards! I love how you notice color combinations all around you! And really that peach and rust are incredible!!! Excited for the new release!!!!
Pretty excited there might be a Christmas ribbons set (merry) can’t wait!
Such a gorgeous Fall color scheme! Dawn’s card is beautiful, I love how the different Greetery sets can be combined
Who would know that rust would look so well with peach. And the leaves and berries cut out look dainty. It’s a visual feast for the autumn sense and sensibilities.
