What fun this challenge was!  AND, I love this time of year!  Fall is my favorite!  
Here are the gorgeous Verve goodies that I used on my card today!




 I stamped the feathers in brown ink over some textured card stock, then fussy cut them out.  After die cutting two of the tags, I stapled them offset with some ribbon.  After layering these elements over a couple of hand trimmed flags, this fall-themed card was complete!


Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
