Defining Gratitude

Photo Details

Poster: imastampin

I love this set. I seem to have fallen into fall and I can't get out. I don't even like orange much, and all the cards I've made lately are orange! What's up with that? Well, anywho - I stamped the leaves on So Saffron, colored with WWC and then covered with versamark and embossed with irridescent ice ep. The strips behind it are sewn on for more texture. The panel behind that is stamped with weathered twice, then stamped with the sanded bg. The shape at the bottom is made with the coluzzle. What do you think?

Karen! This is just wonderful from the strips that look like embossed leather to the scalloped oval layer and how you matted it. Then there is the G on top of the definition. That is ingenius!
