 Hi All-

The colors at Color Throwdown and the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches inspired this card. 

 
 

Once again I grabbed those fabulous leaf stamps from SU (Forever Fern), along with PinkFresh Studios Mini Slimline Essentials dies, The Greetery's Autumn die, 3 flat sequins, Simon Says Stamp ink in Orange Soda and Dark Chocolate and their square sayings die, and an ink blending brush. I cut the base card, folded it, added the first layer of a die cut panel. Then cut the second layer along with the openings.  I figured out where the openings would be and added some blended ink. The top panel is added via foam tape and the stamped and die cut leaves were placed as if they were growing out the openings.  The sentiment is 2 layers of Kraft (there were left overs) and 1 layer gold mirror cardstock. Three flat sequins were added one to each window.

I am kinda crushing on this card...

      

Thanks for visiting, I appreciate that you take time to say  hi.
