Leaf Option

AAA Cards CAS Game #198

Another week and a half of summer before we can expect some cooler temperatures and the leaves begin to change colors….but who’s counting? Certainly not the thermometers since it’s supposed to be back in the 90’s the next few days in Pennsylvania.

The CAS challenge with AAA Cards is up to One Third + optional twist Leaves. Since I’m getting ready for fall, I am opting into the twist. My leaves are layered on one third of the cardstock which was sponged using GKD inks in Wild Dandelion, Sweet Mango and Coral Reef and I partially dry embossed the sponged area with Cuttlebug’s Forest Branches embossing folder. The leaves are GKD/Thermoweb Stamp N Foil Thankful Leaves. I stamped and die cut the leaves instead of using the foil option. Since my one third section looked a little crooked after sponging (to be expected), I added a thin strip of glittery paper and stamped the sentiment from GKD’s Autumn Splendor StampTV kit in SSS Dark Chocolate. The sentiment is surprisingly pretty straight especially since it was a red rubber stamp that I had to cut….yikes!!

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. Stay safe and have a great day.

  1. Your leaves are so beautiful! Cutting red rubber can be scary, but you did great. We have 90’s this week also. Strange as it was getting quite cool a week or so ago.

  2. Absolutely beautiful! Love your stunning use of colours. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards , hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!

  3. This is a beautiful card! I love all you did to the 1/3 and it is plenty to make it a fully beautiful card. Congratulations on getting your sentiment so straight! That can’t have been easy.
