Happy Fall Y'all Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am pleased to see more great images have been added to Cricut Access in Cricut Design Space! When I saw this cartridge, I wanted to make a card. As usual, my biggest decision was choosing which images to use first! The card measures 5 1/2" wide x 4 1/4" high.

Cricut Cartridges:
Basic Shapes - Card is cut from Recollections brown paper at 5.50" wide x 8.50" high.
Rectangle is cut 5.50" wide x 4.25" high from DCWV Four Seasons plaid paper. A second rectangle is cut 5.25" wide x 4" high from the DCWV tree/leaves patterned paper for the top mat.

Everyday is a Holiday - I like the fonts of the Phrases and Word Art projects in the cartridge.
Truck with pumpkins is cut 4.333 wide x 1.771" high. I also cut a black out image at the same size from the brown paper. I did not want black or white windows so the brown paper works for me. The truck has been on a dirt road!
Phrase - Happy Fall Y'all is cut 3.596" wide x 1.83" high.

I added a left over leaf from a previous project to lower right corner of card.  

I like the way this card turned out! Hope you enjoy! Thank you for your visits and comments!
