How difficult can it be do a one layer card with leaves on it ...
I missed the challenge last week at Less is More so thought I'd try and get in early(ish) this week. I thought it would be easy - I bought the Stampin Up French Foliage set this week - perfect! Alas, my creative juices were not flowing very freely and I have struggled a bit!
First I used the SU Very Vintage roller & SU Pale Plum Ink
Then stamped the French Foliage with Brilliance Gold Ink & Versamagic Hint of Pesto
I used a gold pen to draw border lines
At this point it was looking very boring and I didn't have a suitable sentiment to use, so I rummaged through my recent purchases, came across a set of uninked Tim Holtz stamps and thought I'd try and be a bit arty farty.
Not overly happy with it but I'm posting it anyway - I know you'll be nice to me!! Lol.
Have a great week everyone.

This is brilliant, love the leaf stamp and the Tim Holtz :)
Had wondered if you would use your new purchases! good job not boring at all ,lovely subtle autumn colours x
I think it's brilliant. Great to try something new - & for it to work! Jx
Not at all boring Suze. Love the leaf design panel and your Tim Holtz image on top is fab. x
I think it's great! What a shame the gold doesn't show up because I bet it's fab with the Pesto ink and the design is a great idea. Don't be so hard on yourself x
The leaves look great Suze and I just love Tim Holtz stamps. Dianne

Hola Suze, we don't need to be kind to you as this is wonderful lol Kx
It looks great! Love the umbrella man
Cool card! love it when someone brings a touch of inky fingered to CAS LOL XOXO Zoe
Hi Suze I'm not going to be nice to you ;)
your card is great, it would be fine without umbrella man but with him you have the quirkiness and some contrast to give it a bit of ooh.
No need to be kind lol!

Super card. I love the sentiment xx
Arty farty works! Mind you either the panel OR the TH umbrella man would look great as stand alone cards too

I think it works well. It has become a great card. And I love the story behind it
I would have never thought of doing something like this, and I do like the look of it. Thank you for the inspiration.
