I was looking through blogland and saw
Barb and
Donna had created some beautiful entries for the
CAS-ology Challenge #14. CAS is a good challenge for me to try. :)
This was my third attempt using my spray of leaves in a design. :) I started with stamping the Hero Arts leaf three times using brown archival ink. I smeared
STAEDTLER Karat Pastel Chalks in the centers of my leaves. I used a sponge to smear them together and around the edges. I spritzed the surface with Goose Bumps and waited for that to dry. I then smeared the yellow pastels over the surface to add the hint of yellow.
I then cut it into the shape of a tag and layered it onto the white cardstock. Added the embossing and sentiment from Memory Box.
It is hard not to add more to the background but I like a good challenge.
Have a happy Saturday and don't worry I have a very complex and multi-layered project for tonight's SSSS post! :)

It's a beautiful tag-card! Love your technique; it makes the leaves glow!
ReplyDeleteYour leaves are beautiful Sue and using them in this way allows them to be seen in their full glory. I like the novel way of attaching the tag and also the texture from the Goosebumps. I bought some of this over a year ago and still haven't used it. I think you might have given me the push to have a play with it ;-)
