Leaves... hello!

Hi there!

Happy Thursday to you!

Almost weekend in the UAE... and one more day to go for most of the rest of the world :)

I am playing along in some of my favorite challenges with today's card.



A closer look:


... and the supplies I used:



I used:


  • Altenew inks : Paper Bag, Espresso, Olive &  Rocky Shores.
  • A layered leaf stamp from a tamp set by Hampton arts.
  • Polka dot BG stamp by Stamperia.
  • Silhouette cameo .
  • Sentiment stamp from Altenew.
  • Misti.

To create the leaf focal point, I stamped the leaf, scanned it, and imported it to my Silhouette studio.
I enlarged it, and cut the outline using black card stock, and the full leaf from white card stock.
I inked up the polka dot background stamp randomly with the same colors I used for the card base to create the pattern on the large leaf.

Challenges:


Color throwdown  ~ Colors.


Addicted to CAS ~ Leaves.


         


Thanks for visiting me today!
