Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Friday !!!

I have another day off today- so I am starting my day with a post. I did this at my class using the Harvest of Thanks stamp set. I did the core'dination c/s to create a distressed background.

A while back, Stampin' Up came up with a single stamp that makes a nice border for the Apothecary Accent die and I used it for this card. Hope you like it.
