Today has dawned rainy and I figure that's as good excuse as any to spend some time with stamps and ink. If I'm lucky I should be able to get quite a few cards knocked out today for some upcoming challenges. First I tackled the newest retro sketch and paired it with the colors at Dynamic Duos.
These earthy colors made me want to do something with leaves. I've got quite a few leafy sets that I like to use but I chose Gently Falling because it's the one I probably use the least and I wanted to see what I could come up with. I paired it with some DSP from Woodland Walk and a wee sentiment from Tiny Tags.
This is the first time I've used the new Argyle embossing folder and I really like it. It's gives a good crisp image without tearing the cardstock and it has an interesting pattern. I also added a bit of Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon with one of the new Ribbon Slides and I highlighted my leaves with an Antique Brad.
Well, I'm off to recharge with some coffee and breakfast, then it's back to "work" in my stamp room. Thanks for stopping by!
Fabulously done, Jen!! Love it :)
