Double Challenge Card

Just a quick post today....

I fell in love with the colors for this week's Playdate Cafe challenge: Rust, Storm and Deep Sea and I also really like the Clean and Simple Stamping Sketch challenge too, so I combined 'em and came up with this Fall card.

The colors I used were Dusty Durango (ink and c/stock), Night of Navy (c/stock) and Basic Grey taffeta ribbon to approximate the colors. The leaf is from a retired SU set.

Thanks for stopping by!
