I looked out the window here in Pittsburgh and saw the colors changing on the trees and was reminded of the beautiful SU Sheltering Tree stamp set. I have never posted a card using this set so I made a “last days of summer” card.
It just so happens that Stampin’ Up Only Challenges # 130 has a FRIEND theme so I added the sweet sentiment about friendship found in the set.
I used a color palette of Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Real Red, and Early Espresso. The main Very Vanilla panel is 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ bordered 1/8″ larger with the Espresso and Red borders. My sentiment banner is 1/2″ bordered by 5/8″ Espresso. I like the look of thin borders:)
FYI: Sheltering Tree was carried over into the current annual catalog from last spring but in case you have not taken a serious look at it…here it is!
Thanks for buzzing by…
We are enjoying these last sunny days too! Pretty card……love the pop of red!
Here in TX the leaves aren’t changing yet, but early in the morning you get a sense of fall coming on. Love your card.
Love the colors on the bike and your layout.
This is fantastic!! Love the use of the Sheltering Tree set and the sentiment is perfect for our challenge!! Thanks for playing along with us at SUO Challenges- hugs to you, my friend!!

Love Sheltering Tree and your card is so pretty for these last days of summer! We can just see a HINT of the trees starting to turn in Ohio!
