A Hazy Shade of Winter

Another two weeks have rolled around so it's time for a "Cooking It Up With Katie" challenge.  Katie always gives you a recipe.  This week it's embossing, sticker and leaf.  She'll have a jazzy way of saying those three items so you really have to go over to her site to check it out and while you're there you can see what the rest of the design team has created.  Their work is worth the visit. 
So for my card I dry embossed the brown layer.  It's a shame that you can't see the wood grain in the photo, in real life it's faint but it's just enough to add a nice touch. 
The base of this card was made with Bazzill card stock and instead of putting a ribbon through the slider sticker I used a piece of that card stock.  The word on the slider is "remember": 
Put your thinking cap on, grab a stamp and put something together.  You can link your project up on Katie's blog and if you're lucky you'll be the winner. 
One of the other challenges out there this week called for using a song title for inspiration.   That's the "A Hazy Shade of Winter".  The lyrics go " Time, time, time, see what's become of me, while I looked around for my possibilities, I was so hard to please...Look around, the leaves are brown and the sky is a hazy shade of winter" This stamp reminds me of that song and I had it playing in my head while I was making it (and while I'm posting it).  It seemed appropriate,and  it made me melancholy. A feeling that I associate with fall.   Maybe if I were living in a Northern state with a chill in the air the feeling would have lasted but going out into the bright sunshine and warm Florida temperature put me back into a "hot fun in the summertime" mood.
