Gorgeous Leaves for AYSI 263

 It's Recipe Challenge week this week. Simply take the five ingredients and see what you can cook up with them.


Gorgeous Leaves is such a wonderfully versatile set. I've used it here for a THANKS card which matches the One Word Sentiment condition. It's popped up dimensionals on one of the Tasteful Labels dies.

For element two, Embossing Folder, I've used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder on the Very Vanilla background panel.

For element three, ribbon or twine, cord from the Simply Elegant Trim pack.

I've gone overboard on element four, punch or die cut, as I've used Tasteful Labels dies for the sentiment, Intricate Leaves dies for the two leaves, and Basic Borders dies for the cut edge of the card base.

For element five, Neutrals, I've stuck to the Neutrals colour family:Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and Merry Merlot. I also consider metallics to be neutrals so have used the gold cord trim and some Gilded Leafing Embellishment.

I also took inspiration from the latest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches for this project.

Basic Border Dies for Retro Rubber 165

It's time for a new challenge at Retro Rubber and this time it's a theme challenge: use modes of transportation in your creation. Of course, because it is RETRO rubber, you do also need to use a stamp that's a year or more old and give us an indication of the age of that stamp (or stamps).



For this challenge, I did have to go to my retired shelves for a stamp set. Lift Me Up is a set that has been retired for a couple of years now but it remains one of my favourites. I have paired it up with the new Basic Border dies. 


I used on of the Basic Border dies to create the three layers of clouds from which some of the balloons hang. I used the stitched curve die to create some hills for the balloons to float over.
