leafing you...

Happy Wednesday AJVD fans!!  Wow... summer is in full swing and July is almost over!!  I was going to do a "Christmas in July" card, but when I got my new AJVD goodies (you can find them right here in the AJVD store) I decided to make a fall inspired card instead.  I used the new Be-Leaf in Yourself stamp set, as well as one of the dies from the Grand Leaf Trio die set.  The BE-LEAF in Yourself stamp set has so many cute, punny sentiments!  It is a must have for sure!


A week or so ago I was messing around with my watercolors and created a couple of panels that I didn't really care for, but I kept them because I thought I might be able to use them for something else.  As I was thinking about what I wanted to create those panels came to mind and I dug them out.  The first thing I tried didn't work, but then I decided to use one of the leaves from the Grand Leaf Trio die set.  I figured out which leaf would work with the sentiments and settled on the oak leaf.  I should have stamped the sentiment first and then die cut, but I did it in reverse so to get a nice image I just used my MISTI to do multiple stampings.  A panel of kraft cardstock was die cut with a Stitched Dot Rectangle and then I added the leaf and a little twine bow treatment.  I used the sketch from the current CAS(E) this Sketch so I will add it to the line up there.  Adding this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.
