you make me smile...

Hello!  Back from my trip to Yellowstone and trying to get back into a crafting groove.  So I created a card based on the current sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch.  I used a stamp and die set from Stampin Up! along with several different Ranger distress oxide inks.   For my background I used broken china and salty ocean distress oxides.  For the bottom layer of the leaf I used dried marigold, abandoned coral and wild honey distress inks.   After die cutting the inked up cardstock using a leaf from the die set I die cut the skeleton leaf from some bright green cardstock and then adhered the two together.  The branch was die cut from kraft cardstock and then I arranged everything on the cardstock inked with the broken china and salty ocean distress inks so I could determine where to stamp the sentiment.   The sentiment was then stamped in Versafine CLAIR Nocturne and then I adhered the branch and leaf.   I finished with a little twine bow.   Since this is pretty clean and simple I will add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.  


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Supplies:  Cardstock:  PTI kraft, smooth Bristol, bright green; Inks:  Distress Oxides and VersaFine CLAIR; Stamps and dies:  Stampin Up!
