What simple fun I had today!
With an optional theme of 'Leaves' my mind was racing in regards to what direction I wanted to go. Then I decided to look through some of my OLDER leaf dies ... in fact I went to the very last page in the binder and pulled from there for today's design.
Both of these leaf dies come from one of my original die sets and at that time when I was starting out, I was only familiar with a few companies ... I believe these are from Spellbinder. At that point I didn't write on the back who the mfg was but by the color of the metal I believe this is the company.
I took a scrap of white card stock and using the residual ink in a few fall color sponge daubers, I inked up the paper before die cutting. The scallop stitched circle was a left over hanging on my extras board and I used fall color Nuvo crystal drops for the accent. Sentiment is from an old JustRite stamp set.
Remember,
our challenge is Anything Goes CLEAN & SIMPLE but we do offer an
OPTIONAL theme. You have until the 28th to share your CAS design into our challenge blog. 
Hope to see you at SIMPLY CLEAN & SIMPLE!
As always . . .
Super make and such glorious autumnal colours too

Hi Dar~ This is fabulous, both in color and design. The multi-colored leaves are perfectly festive for this time of year. I love the CAS design and the candy dots match to a "T". Happy fall my friend!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, I just love the coloring on the leaves and the white circle frame with the one!
ReplyDeleteBeyond beautiful, it's simple perfection! Those oldest dies still serve you well. You gave them such rich color with your residual inks, and those Nuvo drops appear as though they were colored with the same inks. A fabulous finish!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful color and detail in these leaves, Darlene! I'm loving that sweet circle too and how much it adds to the design!
