One layer cards have become the most difficult and challenging of all kinds of cards I make...but it IS called a Challenge...lol!! I was really stumped when I read the Less is More challenge was... LEAVES...I have used most of my leaf stamps throughout this Fall season, and the ones that are left...well they are too much of a challenge for a one layer card. I really wish I had some of those really pretty skeleton type leaves like I have seen so many beautiful cards made with...will have to look now for NEXT Fall! I took out a couple Papertrey Ink sets that had some leaves. It was when I looked at the sentiments in Falling Leaves that I had an idea!! I decided to put three of the similiar sentiments together on a long block, and because they are clear, bend them a bit to make one long WAVY sentiment. I added leaves from Fall Elegance and here's what I got:
I inked the leaf stamp with Riding Hood Red, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard and Cajun Craze. The sentiments are Chocolate Chip. I dotted with brown pearls and done!
