I LOVE leaves on cards and her card just jumped at me.
My changes
stamps
colors
changed to two brads (for Whimsey)
changed ribbon layout
I started with black CS and added some wonderful Tim Holtz CS on which I stamped Old French Writing. Next I cut out part of a calendar from more Tim Holtz CS and mounted Victorine Originals cutout leaves on the calendars. I changed the position of the ribbon and used two brads in place of the three - to represent the two times Whimsey has sponsored this challenge. I don't own a Whimsey stamp - yet - and I don't own a #2, so the brads represent the 2.
Besides honoring Darla as Queen, I will send this card to my coworker who has been off work after surgery for a month and will be off for two more months. Please PM me for her address if you would like to fill her mailbox with cheer. tfl
