Tartan Plaid and Turning Leaves!

 

I'm leaving for Scotland on Saturday so of course I had to use a plaid on today's card!  It ended up being a fun card to make using paper from several different pads and two of our beautiful stamp sets.  Black and Beige is one of my favorite color schemes, this time made even richer with a bit of "chocolate."  

This is another no coloring card!  This leaf is so beautiful in bold changing colors courtesy of a sheet of designer paper from Craft Consortium's Metal Textures pad.  

The adjacent sentiment is stamped on a sheet from Test of Time, which has a bit of a wood bark feel.  

The cross was stamped onto a sheet from the Scorched Wood pad, and sits atop another print from Metal Textures.  


Inside, there's another scrap of the tartan plaid against a background from Test of Time.  

Supplies:

I'll be leaving Florida's temps in the upper 80's for Scotlands 50's with lows dipping into the low 40's, so I'm trying to decide what to pack.  I'm touring with a knitting group, so we're all looking forward to some Sweater weather!  Last time we were there I was either too hot (indoors) or too cold (outdoors) so this time I am determined to pack thinner, more adjustable layers that will be more comfortable outdoors and in.  I'm taking my hand-spun, hand-knit Highland Coo inspired cardigan!  I finished it just in time!  

Fingers crossed that I will find some beautiful fleece/fiber and yarn to bring back home as souvenirs from this trip!  🇺🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇸
