Hi, I bought a new sentiment stamp yesterday and really wanted to use it. I usually leave them to languish in my drawer for ages!
I cut the leaves from watercolor paper, gave them some veins and shaped them a bit with my stylus tool.
I coloured them with a few distress inks.
I'm going to link up to the following challenges.( I'm borderline CAS I think, so I appreciate the feedback if my card is too busy.)
CAS-ual Fridays to use fall colours and a leaf.
CASology where the cue card is Autumn.
Addicted to Stamps & More where the theme is Clean & Simple.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes.
Materials used: Tim Holtz tattered leaves die: Memory Box branch die: Kaisercraft True Friendship stamp; Versafine black ink and superfine gold ep; distress inks.
Thanks for visiting :)

ReplyDeleteHello Cathy, What a beautiful card, its definately CAS and stunning, simple but so effective. The leaves are so vibrant but I love them, and they co-ordinate perfectly with the stamp (which I must look out for).

ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, just saw your name on a blog comment, and popped over to see what I've been missing. I can see I shall be back again later this afternoon (gotta stretch my go-to-sleep legs!) but just had to say this leaf card is really sharp. Love the DI on your shaped autumn leaves. They really pop on the somber background. So very beautiful. Back later. TFS
