Aspen Leaves - CAS188

Photo Details

Poster: Loll Thompson

For today's CAS challenge (CAS188 - inspirational photo from Pinterest).

I stamped the aspen leaves using the 2-part stamp from the Gently Falling stamp set (SU!). I sponged more colour, added "raindrops" using Crystal Effects, and then piled the leaves at the bottom of my card front.

The sentiment is part of the Punkin digi stamp set from Lisa Lara (Lisa's Doodley Doos - available at Clear Dollar Stamps). I love this sentiment and used it on both my cards for today.

Oh Loll, this is beautiful. I love how you made the dew drops on the leaves. They are so visible in the photo, so I can imagine how beautiful they look IRL!

Loll, your leaves look so real. I love how you piled your leaves and added the CE rain drops. I love the font on your sweet sentiment too. TFS

Loll..I guess Fall is in the air as we both have made Fall cards! Your leaves ROCK! I love the dew drops on them and as usual your crisp pure CAS style is just so appealing. Beautiful sponging/coloring of those wonderful leaves. I found I was lacking in Autumn/Fall sentiments when I was finishing up my card, and even went to check out good old AmyR to see what she offered! :-)
