Hello Everyone, It is a beautiful Friday and I need to get outside but I did want to play along with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week before I went outside. We were asked to make a card using Fall Colors & A Leaf this week. We went camping in Vermont last week and I picked up a leaf that had already turned to fall colors. It was gorgeous so I tried to copy it. I can't say I was all that successful, but it was a good try on my part anyway.
Here is what I came up with.
The stamp is one that I love from Gina K Designs (Autumn Splender set). I colored it with Copics and cut is out with SB Scalloped and Square dies. The sentiment is a retired SU! stamp that I've had for years and is kind of a go-to stamp for me. My designer paper is by Basic Grey. I dashed around the edges with a black multi-liner and ran it through a Swiss Dot embossing folder and I was done. I had fun putting this one together. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. I love the company. See you all again soon. Hope you are lucky enough to be enjoying a beautiful day also.
Donna, your leaf is gorgeous...great coloring. Our leaves aren't turning yet and will be well into October before they do. Hope they're showing us some beauty this year.
