I have to admit, when I was first constructing this card, I did NOT let the Clean & Simple RULE register. I created another card...really heavy on the bling...that was abandoned, last minute, for this challenge. When it came to a CAS card, I immediately turned to the new Button Buddies stamp set, SHOCKING, huh?? This set has been my "go-to" set since it arrived on my doorstep. I know I said I was going to give it a rest...BUT, it's too cute not to ink up. I use this set entirely TOO much! Ugh!!
I added some Pumpkin Pie brads (ret.) to my pumpkins. Ever though they are retired, these Corduroy Button/Brad accents are one of my all-time favorites. So much texture and dimension at one time! All the layers on the card are popped up and I kept the ribbon treatment simple on this one. The sentiment is heat embossed for added shine.
