LIM Challange Week 41 - one layer - Leaves



Morning from a lovely day in the Loire, Tee Shirt weather, butterflies are still flying around and we even have a cornflower out and little purple violets just showing. My card this week reminds me of all the Poplar Tree leaves we have around us. They are grown as a crop here for use later to make the wooden apple and fruit crates.


I cut a strip of spare card and using my punches made a design, I taped it to the card and masked off the other area and used Tim Holtz distressed inks in Autum colours. I embossed two lines and stamped a small "Thinking of you" sentiment.


Thank you for last weeks comments on my card (not my best effort). Enjoy the rest of the weekend

Thanks for looking at

    These leaves are gorgeous Sandra. The colours are beautiful and the arrangement of the leaves is lovely... I can't help feeling that the sentiment looks a little lost tucked away in the corner... I wonder what it would have looked like amongst the leaves. If you stamp the sentiment onto a piece of acetate and then hold it over your card you can see what it would look like in various locations!
    Just a thought.. it's a fab card though!
    Thanks so much

    The leaves are lovely, a good tip to try acitate staqmping, I often use the backing sheet printed in black on acitate that comes with sets of stamps for this.x

    I love those leaves - the sentiment does look a little lost on the other side though;)
