I am a sucker for leaf papers. I try to shut my eyes if I walk down the paper aisle, but somehow a piece or two calls my name and I sneak a peek! This is one of those papers. I have had it for YEARS. I don't even know if the company, Me and My Big Ideas, is still in business. I have precious scraps left now, but what good does it do to just sit in my stash when it could brighten someone's day? The sentiment is stamped on vellum in order to highlight the background. The leaves were cut from the same paper and popped up on dimensionals.

I also have to be very careful walking down the paper aisle! I can see why you have been rationing this out over years...
I absolutely love this card! The layer of vellum and popped up leaves are perfect for Ann's challenge!

I love how you cut leaves and added them -- because you can never get all those pretty leaves on a A2 card, can you? Beautiful leaf card, and I love the shiny brad that draws the eye to the sentiment.

Awesome! Love the paper and your clever idea to cut out some of the leaves and attach them. The sentiment on the velum works great. The gold bling is a nice touch. This is a beautiful card. Thanks for sharing and caring by participating in HYCCT.
