purple leaf...

Hello!  Hope your week is off to a great start.  I'm popping in with a quick post sharing a card that I made for a few challenges:  CAS(E) this Sketch, Sunday Stamps and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.   The colors for the current Sunday Stamp challenge were so pretty I just couldn't pass them up and they included blue so it was a great fit for the Simon Says Stamp challenge, as well.  I pulled out one of my favorite Concord & 9th stamp and die sets Thankful Leaves turnabout set.  I used three shades of blue and a light gray for all the stamping.  Once the piece was stamped I die cut it with the sort of diamond shape die from the C9 Blooms Fill In stamp and die set.   I adhered that to a white cardstock panel that I die cut with an AJVD die and trimmed off the excess.  I die cut the leaf from purple glitter cardstock (purple is one of the colors in the SS color combo) and adhered that to the stamped piece.  The sentiment is also from Thankful Leaves.  I stamped it with VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne, trimmed it out and adhered it to the center of the leaf.  I finished off with some sequins in shades of blue and a little bow made from a dark blue twine.

Must acknowledge that the team at CTS picked the last card I entered as a favorite!  How fun is that?! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
