And here is the card I created:
As you can see, I was inspired by the leaves and the colors of the photo. I had the large leaf die cut in my bits and pieces stash and it was the perfect size for embossing the sentiment. I also added some frantage embossing powder around the edges of the leaf. It's a little hard to see the sentiment in that photo, so the one below shows it a whole lot better. It also shows the faux stitching along the bottom of the card.
I think this will probably just be a thinking of you card, or something similar, so I didn't add a sentiment to the inside. But I did want to dress it up a little so I added some falling leaves and a couple acorns with a light gray ink in the bottom corner.

The cards this week are off the chart - every card is different but all followed with the photo inspiration. Love your ribbon tied on the top of your leaf paper, would not have thought to do that but loving it. Great job this week.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, like all the areas with leaves and that frantage embossing powder is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is so unique! Love your two little ribbons on the front, and stamping the sentiment ON your leaf was pure genius - looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!
