Oh my goodness, the end of November is already here! This is the last challenge I will be hosting for a bit….I have had such a blast going through this with all of you. I am always so eager to see what is created for every challenge each and every week. Quite often I pick up on something that is new or lost in the back of my mind. So many talented folks. Thanks for hanging in with me and I hope you have Happy Thanksgiving if you are here in the states. Otherwise I hope you have a great week and as always we would love to see what your beautiful minds can create with this sketch. Share your creation with us by posting on our blog CAS Colours & Sketches.

This card comes together pretty quickly and easily with the Love of Leaves bundle. I love this bundle, it it is stitched, it has my attention and affection. The leaves are cut from watercolor paper that I washed with Old Olive, Bumble Bee, Cinnamon Cider and Cherry Cobbler. It literally took longer to create the watercolor page than to create this card. I first embossed the stitching on the Whisper White mat with the die from the Stitched Leaves Die set. Die cut the leaves from the dried water color paper, then placed them on the embossed Whisper White mat with dimensionals.

The greeting “Wishing you Well” is from the Gather Together Stamp set and is stamped in Cinnamon Cider on Whisper White card, then die cut by maneuvering the die to the size I needed. I then attached it to the finished card front with dimensionals. The finished panel is attached to the card base with craft foam for more elevation, leaves gotta float! Inside I simply glued a strip of the water color paper as a border.
