Handmade Hello Fall Card

After all, we are officially into October now, Yay!  Bring on the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, flannels, boots, scarves and holiday scents!

So, last week I had the urge to make a quick little card to represent the onset of fall.  I wanted to do something simple with Close To My Heart’s adorable Lovely Leaves stamp set.  I also wanted to share these quick instructions with my readers…
