Leaves For You

Today's card is me stepping waaaaaaay outside my comfort zone! Lol. It began as I was browsing the new challenge themes out there and saw a graphic which I initially dismissed as 'not my thing' but which continued to niggle at the back of my mind. A second look had me thinking of a particular die set, then two more challenges dovetailed in to solidify the design taking form in my head. Eventually I asked myself, 'What have you got to lose? It's only card, after all.' So here it is, a step outside the box for sure but I'm happy with it.

Subtle piercing in the background enhances the quatrefoil shaping.

Entering into the following challenges:













For Inspired by... I was inspired by the graphic vibe, leaf shapes and colours, and from the Tic Tac Toe grid I chose the middle horizontal row of any shape die, free and fall colours.

Materials used:
  • stamp/die combo - Overlapping Hugs Additions (Waffle Flower)
  • dies - Foliage Shaker (Pinkfresh Studios), Quatrefoil Panel, Quatrefoil Texture (both Waffle Flower)
  • other - Big Shot, Dimensionals, MISTI, white embossing powder, heat tool

I hope you have some crafting in your day. Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
Kerry
