Jackets on the weekend, windows open at night, summer flowers fading in the garden ... it's definitely time for Fall at home! Time for Fall at CAS-ual Fridays as well, as we have a fun challenge to get you in the spirit. The winning card receives a wonderful gift from our sponsor Simon Says Stamp.
Use any combination of Fall colors, and at least one leaf, and you'll fit right in.
The "you are awesome" Dear Lizzy rotary stamp is repeated on the left side of the leaf to mimic the veins in the leaf. I cut out a leaf shape from the greige paper, as well as mat board that is underneath to give it dimension. Does anyone else hate using dimensional tape? I don't like when your panel is squished and you end up with little mountains and valleys. Using a flat, consistent piece of thick mat board seems to work better for me.
Please check out the other examples from our very talented CAS-ual Fridays Design Team, as well as consider entering a card of your own. Hope to see you there!
Thanks for looking!

So original!! Love the creative take on this gorgeous leaf! Beautiful job on stamping the sentiment, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteFABulous stamping Kelly - gorgeous card :)
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous *happy sigh* Love the word veins on the leaf, and the overall colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the foam squares/tape, and I also don't like that you can see it between layers of coloured cardstock because it's white. Just one of many things that meant I use Pinflair Glue Gel instead. :-)
Cool! I specially like how you did the leaf, and the colors are quite interesting too!
ReplyDeleteI like using foam tapes...but then I use a lot of them, tiny pieces all over the place. And so I invested in this jumbo foam tape...

It was a bit cheaper when I bought it :)
This is very cute, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThis is so very cool, Kelly!!! Love how you reproduced the leaf veins with the stamp! And yes, totally agree with the foam tape thing. Sometimes my dimensional cards look like the freaking Grand Canyon! The mat board idea is fantastic. Happy weekend, my friend!!!
