Today's CAS challenge is to use leaves and I was inspired by the front wall of a friends home - she lives on a hill in the country overlooking the city of Belfast - it's idyllic with donkeys in the stables and little rabbits running all over the beautiful yard. The front of their home has this type of leaf covering the front wall around the door, and they're a brilliant shade of orange and red this time of year. One of the stamps in Sweet and Sassy Stamps lovely Autumn Leaves set was just perfect for what I had in mind. I sponged the leaves with various inks and ran a copic around the outside edge after cutting for strong edge definition. The embossing is lightly sponged also.

Oh my that is just lovely Bridget. Love that embossed brick. Where did that come from. I like it. Makes a beautiful simple card. Your leaf coloring is superb as usual.
