As You See It

I found a new challenge site As You See It so I had to play along this week because I had design elements laying on my table which would be perfect for their challenge.

I had made a piece of paper using the colors I saw on a  gift bag (if you glance back on my blog you will see pictures of the inspiration piece and paper).  I colored two pieces of paper and have used just strips of the paper on my cards.  I believe this may be the 4th card I have made. I colored bristol smooth card stock with distress oxide inks in the same colors and stamped and cut many leaves out.  When I saw this challenge with the row of candles I knew I would make a row of leaves.  I did have to move the sentiment to accommodate the opening.

The background was colored with the smooshing technique and a distress oxide ink.  The strip and card front were matted with dark brown.  The two front leaves are pop dotted.  Everything is on a side fold kraft card base.

Here is the inside of the card.  It all coordinates very nicely.

I am also entering this card into the Monday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp where the challenge is Fall/Autumn. 

Thanks for stopping by.
