I had leftover Memory Box Wayfarer Leaves already spritzed with several green Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists. But I wanted to make a Fall card for
Freshly Made Sketches 600th Challenge &
Memory Box August Fall challenge. I simply added dark green, red, bronze & copper mists to turn them into beautiful shimmery Fall leaves.
For a bit of sparkle, I mixed copper & champagne Stickles to apply randomly on the leaves. The background strip was made with an old wood mounted Magenta splatter stamp using white pigment ink.
I used direct to paper with Versafine Clair Pinecone on a kraft scrap to use for Poppystamps Scribble Hello which I stacked 3 high. I love pearls & thought these old brown ones were just what this card needed. Another one handed card, but less than 3 weeks until the sling comes off. There will still be restrictions, but I'm hoping life will be a lot easier.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by & for all the well wishes.
Lovely card Greta, perfect in the neutral colours. xx
ReplyDeleteYour one handed card is elegant and lovely, Greta! So perfect for both challenges!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to spray them and turn them into beautiful fall leaves, Greta! Your design is a great take on the sketch! Well done making cards one-handed, my friend! I'm sure it is helping to distract you and pass the time. It will be wonderful having the sling off!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunningly beautiful card Greta. Love the elegance of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're still able to craft with one arm and make pretty cards like this! It turned out so pretty. Keep the faith and that sling will be gone in no time and you'll be free to move that arm once again! Take care in the meantime.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are doing pretty well one armed. Love this one, your use of kraft card really works well with your chosen colours xx
ReplyDeleteI love these lovely layers of pretty leaves. Beautifully done! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches for this milestone challenge!
ReplyDeleteFabulous leaf bouquet, Greta. You're doing well one-handed. I am playing catch up after having been out of town. I’ve checked out all your lovely cards I missed and commenting just the current one. (It gets too overwhelming for me to catch up individually).
ReplyDeleteYour leaves are beautiful! Love the simple elegance of this! Glad you joined us at FMS!
ReplyDeleteNeutral and a pop of shimmer. So pretty! Thank you so much for joining our 600th sketch celebration at FMS!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, especially for a one-arm card!! I love the design and soft colors and the leaves are so pretty. Good job.
ReplyDeleteOH! What a beautiful card, love those leaves and their colours.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sparkly leaf cluster, Greta!!
