Made a few cards to go with some books I gave away in a contest. These were fun to make. I had to keep them simple because I was on a time crunch - which seems to be my life the last little while. I am actually quite happy with these, mostly because I have been coveting Fancy Flourishes by PTI for awhile now to use as a background stamp, but I have been trying to hold back on my crafting spending, trying to use what I already have. So when I took a closer look at Turning a New Leaf set, I noticed that one of the stamps, if I stamped it off, would work perfectly as a background flourish. And it matched the leaf I die cut from the same set.
Stuff used - Rustic cream card stock for base, Spring moss for leaves and stamped with spring moss, Blueberry Sky felt, cut with a Flower Fusion die, Harvest Gold stamped with Summer Sunrise and cut using a Spellbinders die (sorry, can't remember which one but I love it). The sentiment is from the 2011 Anniversary set. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks! Fun with crafts is always a good thing.
love how these turned out, so CAS!
Thanks, Cassi. CAS seems to work best for me even though I love, love layered cards.
These are so beautiful Carolyne, I love how you've used Turning a New Leaf to create the 'flourish' background - perfect! xxx
Thanks Stephanie. Coming from someone like you, that is high praise indeed!
