I really don't know what possesses me to decide to fussy cut and paper piece such tiny designs but here I've done it again! I cut lots of little leaves, popped them up on Pop Dots and added Glossy Accents to them. The colours I used are from this week's ColourQ challenge and I'm also going to enter this over at Unity's monthly challenge (Autumn Harvest), Picture Perfect Creations (Fall/Halloween Specialty Challenge) and Create's Fall challenge. I had a lovely surprise arrive in the mail yesterday. Awhile back Amy Tsuruta had asked for some crafty storage ideas and I linked her up to my Craft Cave pictures. As a thank you she sent out a little care package with stamps, notepaper, buttons and, of course, a fabulous card! I was so excited although I'm not happy with Bermuda Customs. They opened the package to "inspect" it and clearly just crammed everything back in and bent the card. :( Typical. I still love it though - especially the delicate stitching!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill Basics, (Lucky Limeade, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Image from Beauty Tree Itty Bitty, sentiment from August 2010 KOM - All You Need) Unity Stamp Co
Ink: (Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry) Stampin' Up
Dies: (Nestabilities Labels Eleven) Spellbinders
Other: (Glossy Accents) Ranger
