Love of Leaves Thoughts

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This design was inspired by the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches and the challenge at Color Throwdown.

I used a card base of kraft paper, with layers of black and white. I brought in the sage green with the leaf and the copper with the stripes and the star. I felt it needed a little more of the kraft influence so I added the braided linen trim bow.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Love of Leaves Celebration

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card is another for masculine birthdays.

The card base is Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock with a layer of a selection from the retired Pretty Prints DSP. There is a stitched rectangle from In Good Taste DSP layered onto a bit of Early Espresso Cardstock. The die cut stitched leaves are glued onto the DSP while the stamped leaf is popped up with dimensionals. The ribbon was tucked under the stamped leaf and the sentiment was added on top.

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at As You See It.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day! Happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Love of Leaves

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for some upcoming birthdays (and a few belated ones as well!).

Fall is definitely in the air around here, and some of the challenge blogs I follow had fall color challenges this week, so this is what I came up with. Most of the products I used are current, with the exception of the striped DSP. Also, something you can't see, but there is a piece of Always Artichoke cardstock under the stitched background, just to make the stitching stand out a bit more.

 This card will be entered in the challenges at Fab Friday, Sunday Stamps, and The Paper Players.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
