Loved this Deconstructed Sketch as there are so many possibilities for the large oval and "garnish" on the side. Also quailifies for this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments inspiration challenge.After a brief hiatus, I succumbed to the temptation of making another "leaf card". Soon enough, the tide will be turning toward Christmas cards and my beloved leaves will have to be replaced by snowflakes.
While making this card, I think there was a little payback going because I couldn't make up my mind about colours or elements for the life of me! As a result, I ended up die cutting a bunch of leaves in various colours and shapes before I settled on a combination I liked. Down side: I've added a lot of leaves to my "scrap box" which I'm supposed to be trying to decrease in size not increase in size - ugh! Upside: I now have enough left over leaves to make a few more cards...sorry, just couldn't resist saying that...wink, wink.
In all honesty, thanks for putting up with my leaf addiction this fall....or, if you've had enough, thanks for being quiet about it and not unsubscribing....{grin}. You guys are the best, and I thank each and every one of you for sharing a bit of your time with me in my little corner of blog land :)
