 Good Morning!

I've been working on this card for several hours, since I can't seem to sleep.  I saw those luscious pumpkins at Color Throwdown, and I had to play with their colors of blue aqua, kraft and cream.


I started with an MFT vine wreath cut from kraft, and then added loads of Lawn fawn leaves cut in 3 shades of blue aqua and layered them up.  I wasn't satisfied with the wreath only partially covered with leaves; showing the twigs below...so I ended up with the entire wreath covered with leaves.  

I added gems and the sentiment stamped in a kraft colored ink...but it seemed lacking the kraft color.  Three little bows fixed that for me. I think its a sweet card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

What a great use of those colours, the leaves look fabulous and at least the wreath underneath gave you a template and lots of lovely dimension. Hope the sleep thing resolves itself soon for you xx

Love the colors, and the artistic play on them. I also LOVE this wreath! Who said leaves can't be shades of teal?!

A beautiful leafy wreath in blue with those tiny craft bows. I hope your sleep straightens out. I can surely empathize. I'm late to visit (your previous post of 5 days ago) due to lack of sleep and being burnt out.
