I purchased Season of Friendship a month or so ago and was instantly in love with it! It has so many possibilities! Plus, it was a perfect replacement for the Trees Three set I sold recently!Since I needed some additional Fall cards for my November birthday list, I went to town. I decided the leaves needed some dimension, so I used the rock and roll technique to jazz the edges. I also used the stamped off image of the leaves to make the ground cover! I did not want the leaves that fell off the tree to compete with the focal point, thus I decided they needed to be a little lighter.
I continued with my trend of using vellum for the sentiment! No messing with the white craft ink this time, however! Amazing how quickly the normal ink dries! In addition, I cannot seem to steer clear of the Chocolate Chip cardstock! I am really starting to think I have a subliminal thing going on here...apparently, my stamping mimics my life because I do LOVE chocolate! Or maybe it is just that you cannot see my chocolate fingerprints on dark colors (must stamp with M&Ms!) :)
Polished the card off with some brads and a little hodgepodge hardware and ribbon.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

cute fall card!!!
Loooove this!! Beautiful stamping job and the sentiment on vellum is such a nice touch. It's a great way to add in a sentiment without covering up that gorgeous tree!
What a sweet card and I'm just loving the bird, I'm kind of a nut for birds... Love the image!!!!
Cute card. I love the saying on the vellum. I love this stamp set and seem to reach for it often since I've gotten it.
Great card! Love that little bird! I think your leaves look so pretty! Chocolate is definately my favorite food group and one of my favorite colors also!

What a beautiful fall card... this set is on it's way to me now, and I can't wait to play with it! Thanks for the idea!
Love your card! That blue bird looks so good sitting in those fall colors:)
I love the vellum! I have this set and have been struggling with fitting it on a regular size card because there is no room for a sentiment. This is a great solution!
Very pretty! I love the additional birds. Nice coloring.
What a cute card! I love everything I've seen with this set.
