Time for the second Sassy Lil card sketch for August!

The scallop circle and bow on this week's card sketch immediately made me think of a wreath.  I decided to do a fall wreath, since I love sending out "welcome Fall" cards.  (It's my favorite season!)

I used my Cricut and the Christmas wreath from the Joys of the Season cartridge for this card.  Instead of using Christmas colors, though, I cut the wreath base in dark brown, and then cut it three more times in various Fall colors of cardstock.   I just snipped some of the leaves apart and arranged them around the base to get a variation of colors.  


We'd love to see your card based on this sketch.  Just link it up to the Sassy Lil Sketches blog for a chance to win a prize from our wonderful sponsor this month - My Favorite Things!
