I'm combining 2 challenges for this: CAS to case Emily...and I chose THIS. I noticed she uses this layout quite a bit and I just love it. Also for the HYCCT challenge today, to use leaves.
This really is a simple card. The leaves on top are die cuts so I just colored them w/ Copics. The 2 strips down the left were actually one piece to start with. I brayered it then stamped the big leaf bg image on top. On the 2 little narrow strips, I just bleached the color back out of the bg. The greeting is stamped directly on the card front.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the Copics I used are on my blog:The Write Stuff

Your coloring is well, I'm looking for a word that is better than wonderful or amazing or terrific--so, so, so breathtaking. Okay, that's good, cause I did catch my breath.

Gorgeous!!! I love that sentiment!!!! I have a stamp set that ends too soon, I love the last part, "that every leaf is flower". Your coloring is stunning! Gorgeous piece of art!

WOW and I would not call this a simple card at all! The coloring had to take some time and love the bleaching on the top two panels! Fabulous card and colors!
