Memory Box and Poppystamps

I used my favorite paper from Your Paper Insider Box 12 to make an entry for Memory Box I Can't Be- "Leaf "It Is Fall!  You can see the gold shimmer in my IG post. 

I used Memory Box Tall Frilly Leaf Stems I'd previously die cut and brushed with green metallic sprays.  I cut some more and brushed them with gold metallic watercolor.  I left the ends of the stems free for movement when I glued them to the top of the card.  Memory Box Just a Note Posh Script shadow was die cut from the panel.  The words were die cut from the same cardstock, stacked, covered with glaze and glued in place.  I added the smallest Birch Press Simple Butterfly Contour Layers die cut from vellum and some gold dots.  I'm also entering DCD and SSS Wed.

I made another notecard without a sentiment to enter Poppystamps Keep it Simple, JUGS, Time Out (Fall is my favorite season) and SSS Wed. I recently got Poppystamps Nordic Basket die and decided to make it into a basket for Fall leaves and flowers.  

I die cut it from kraft cardstock and trimmed off the handle so it wouldn't look like an Easter basket.  I added a couple extra diecuts to make it more like chipboard and inked the edges with Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate.  The smallest flowers from Poppystamps Potpourri Flower Set were inked with PTI Harvest Gold and Summer Sunrise.  The bigger flowers were inked with Amethyst Allure.  The leaves from Poppystamps Orchard Leaves were inked with PTI Ripe Avocado and Simply Chartreuse.  I glued the bottom of the basket to Pinkfresh Nested Hexagons: Double Stitch.  Then I arranged and glued the leaves and flowers, gently lifting the ends.  

Decided against embellishments and just added dots of Goldenrod Stickles to the little blooms.
