Leafy Layers for you

 Hello again, and welcome to my blog. I made a card for the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches and I'm writing a quick post tonight to enter it before the deadline tomorrow!

I thought the Leafy Layered Dies would make a great fall card. Inking backgrounds is one of my favorite things to do lately. I began by running white card stock through the embossing folder, and then lightly adding layers of ink to color for an ombre effect. 


Cutting a strip of this panel for the card front, I also die cut the leafy layers, adding some sponging for shading and a few gold leaves. 


Assembling the elements according to the sketch, I took a literal approach. 

I hope you are enjoying these fall days. It will be "official" in a couple of days. I appreciate your spending some time with me here on the blog today. Let's do it again soon!

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!  


Supplies: Concord & 9th - card stock and inks in Buttercup, Spiced Cider, and Cayenne. 

Spellbinders: Embossing folder (ret) and foiled sentiments
