"Special Guest Star"
 |
| CCCB Inspiration Photo |
I got a surprise e-mail from Kirsty--she wanted me to be the "Special Guest Star" at the City Crafter Challenge Blog for the month of October! I accepted, of course--truly an honor. The theme this week is Leaves. I don't know why they're so appealing--maybe because of all the shapes, sizes & colors. My alcohol inks are mostly ignored as I'm never happy with the backgrounds I've tried to make.
Bonnie reminded me you can often use them for die cutting, so I made another piece with that in mind. The inks are lettuce, wild plum & caramel. MFT Thankful Leaves are die cut & then sponged with Delicata Golden Glitz. They really are beautiful in real life. The sentiment by Impression Obsession is stamped in Distress Ink walnut stain & the embossing folder is by Darice. Hope you'll play along in the challenge. I really do appreciate your comments.
SO HAPPY to have you this month!! I LOVE your card, and those leaves are spectacular!!
