This week's Stampin for the Weekend Challenge (#3) is based on the titles of a couple of my favorite songs. We were to find inspiration in "Time of the Season" or "Whiter Shade of Pale" (or "Please Mr. Postman," a fun song but not on my personal top 20.) While pondering that, I realized I'd missed a VSN mini at SCS. One of the VSN challenges was to create a card in brown, yellow, white, red and green. Sounds like fall to me. So, I took my inspiration from VSN to create my SFTW card, Time of the Season, for my favorite season, fall.
The main stamped image is from Chapel Road Art Stamps, featuring a Walt Whitman quote about leaves. There's a little glitter on the leaves that you can't see in the photo. I also used a stamped strip I had made earlier (and came across while cleaning up my stamping area.) To make that leafy strip, I colored a maple leaf stamp (All Night Media) with markers, spritzed with water and stamped for a watercolor effect.
To finish it off, I added a maple leaf brad and some piercing.
Your card is gorgeous Sandy. I love the autumn feel to the card and the images are beautiful. Thanks for taking part in this weeks SFTW

Well Sandy this is the first Fall card I've seen for the Time of the Season song, and you've done a wonderful job on it., love the fall leaves strip that you managed to find (it's amazing what's hiding when we clean up the crafting area isn't it) Great color combo too and love the piercing you've done in the corner.
