Feel So Blessed September SOTM and Falling for You Grateful Card

Happy September 1st!! I am ready for the cooler temperatures here in Utah and excited for fall! It's my favorite time of year! 

I am excited to share this elegant card with you today! I used our pretty September SOTM and the NEW Falling for you papers! This card is so much prettier in person with all that gold detail! The leaves and sentiment were embossed in gold. I can't tell you how much I LOVE the new leaves embossing folder!! You're going to love it!!

The feathers were colored using Q-tips! Yes, Q-tips! I sponged the feathers with a little bit of color from the ink pads first, then took a couple of Q-tips and colored each section of the feather to create a darker shade. This technique is fun but it takes a little patience! 

I love this SOTM! You can use this for so many papercrafting projects!
