Today's CAS challenge at Splitcoaststampers was to use leaves. My card is inspired by the front door of my friends home in South Belfast. Maureen lives on a beautiful hill overlooking the city - it's idyllic with donkeys in the stable and little rabbits running all over the garden and yard! The wall around their front door is covered with these leaves which are a brilliant shade of red and orange at this time of year. Maureen is special to a lot of us as for years she's opened her home for a Bible study where we've shared many learning and praying moments!
I used a set from Sweet and Sassy Stamps called Autumn Leaves, sponging the leaves with various inks, cutting them out and then going around the edges with a copic for extra definition.
I also sponged over the embossing. The sentiment is from a lovely set by Verve called Here for You.
Other supplies include:
Cream Textured Linen cardstock (Papermill Shop)
Ranger Distress Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Scattered Straw, Barn Door ink
SU Real Red ink
