I used an old Fall-to Layout from the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog. And I got to use my circle nesties. Michelle mentioned she doesn't see me using my nesties very much {which is true}, so I put them to good use for this card.
I've decided the thing about distressing that doesn't always work for me. Sometimes it seems like a good idea, so I distress some edges. But then, they don't really look distressed. They just look to me like I have shredded edges on my cardstock, and need a new trimmer. But I do love using the Text Style set for making a background that kind of looks old and weathered.Stamps: PTI Background Basics: Text Style, Fall Elegance

I love this sentiment!! Beautiful leaves...they look great on the kraft :)
Your card is LOVELY!! You did a GREAT job on her color challenge!
This card is beautiful! I love the way you did your background - I agree that Text Style makes for a great faded bg! Thanks for sharing :)
Yes, text style really does look wonderful on backgrounds. I love your card (great layout!) and sympathize totally with your struggles with distressing.
Great job on the challenge, love your leaves on the Kraft card, very effective!

Oooh neat idea and I love how you used the kraft as a background for the lovely colored leaves!!
This is lovely.
Ohhh I like this a lot! And I love that little taggie - - think I've seen that before. I started this challenge...cut the cardstock...and that's as far as I got - ha! These are fun challenges - - glad you're playing along...oh, and I know what you mean about distressing!
I really like this a lot! I love the tag (and that's one of my favorite sayings!) and ribbon. Great job!
Oh gosh, you crack me up! Using Kraft is such a hardship isn't it?
This is the most awesome take on this color challenge! You really kicked some bootie with this card and I wish I'd thought of this layout!
Beautiful card!!
I love how you did the tag...really a great fall card!
You are certainly becoming the "queen of kraft". This is lovely with the leaves in the circle and the script background. How funny that you mentioned you hardly use your nesties. Thinking back on it that is true. In fact I didn't even realized you owned any nesties until now :-) I agree with you about the distressing. It's one of the reasons I don't try it anymore. I either go too far with it or not far enough. Either way my project looks like I did a bad cutting job.
Great card! Fabulous use of those colors.
Love your use of craft. Your nesties look great as well. Fabulous job with Dawn's color challenge.
It's a good life!
