The Less is More Challenge #84 is a One Layer Card - Foilage! and the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays is embossing!
.png)
I embossed the card on each side, then scored an edge, leaving a smooth strip for stamping the leaves and sentiment. The leaves are from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Autumn Leaves set. I then curved the sentiment cling stamp on an acrylic block and stamped it in between the leaves, hopefully giving an impression of falling and swirling autumn leaves!
We have a vine in our back garden which has leaves like this which turn a rich red color in the autumn!
I colored the leaves with copics using the following:
R59, R46, R24, R22, R20, R00
Some people don't like using copics for one layer cards but I normally add a liner to the inside of my cards so don't find it a problem.
Supplies include:
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Autumn Leaves
Papertrey Ink Vintage Picnic (sentiment)
Copics
Darice plaid embossing folder
Score-pal
Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Saw your card on LIM and had to comment. I'll go on to check out what other wonderful things you have created. This card is gorgeous and your flexing the 'thank you' has the effect you were looking for. What a fabulous idea and so 'right'. I don't recall seeing that embossed pattern before...another lovely.
