Unity FWF - Falling for You


Good morning! As this was a bit of a busy week, I didn't have a chance to get something made for this weeks Unity Friends with Flair, but I had this little one that I haven't had the opportunity to share yet! This is one I made for a Paper Crafts Magazine publication call that wasn't picked up - that's why it is a Fall theme card! I'm really in no rush to end summer - I promise! 
This was for one of the sketches. I punched a bunch of maple leaves with a Martha Stewart punch, and layered them on Papertrey Ink buttons, punched holes in the leaves to match the buttons, and tied some Papertrey Ink twine through. I rolled the ends of the twine between my fingers to fray the edges a bit so it looked softer. 
The sentiment is from the Ippity set called Moonbeams and Heartstrings. One of my absolute FAV's!  
My pattern paper is from My Minds Eye and Basic Grey...not sure now which ones. I also rounded the bottom two corners.  
Added a heart cut with the My Creative Time stitched heart die - another one of my favorite things! 
Added another leaf, some more twine, some stick on pearls, and more buttons on the bottom. The only downside to this card? It is REALLY heavy!!! I'm sure there would be some serious extra postage charges on this one! 
Thanks again for stopping by - make sure and head on over to the Unity Blog to join in the fun!!!
