Time for the Papertrey Ink October 2016 Blog Hop Challenge!
Here is the inspiration:
I was inspired by the wood grain background, and the orange leaves.
So, I pulled out a sheet of birch wood veneer paper (16 pt, I think) that I got in a sampler pack from Paper-Papers. LOVE this faded, grayish birch.
My beloved “Out on a Limb” set would give me a branch & orange leaves. “Just the Ticket” would give me a sentiment that would tie in the music background (Hero Arts, embossed in copper on vellum).
Here is a close up of the copper embossing and the lovely wood veneer:
It was nice to participate in a challenge again!
Thanks for stopping by!

The rust and gray go together perfectly, and I like the simple branch and music border. Nice job!
