CASology #14: Leaf


Hello, friends!  I am just under the wire here with two cards I made for the current CASology Challenge using the cue word "LEAF."  I broke out some Hero Arts goodies and kept it as clean and simple as possible...my favorite kind of cards to make!

My first card was inspired by the style of the "CAS Queen" (in my book) Susan Raihala.  First I stamped the sentiment onto a cream card base using Peeled Paint distress ink.  Next, I stamped a leaf from an older Hero Arts set called "Decorative Leaves"  using Soft Vanilla shadow ink three times, then once with a combination of Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo distress inks, onto a piece of white cardstock and popped it up.



For the next card, I uesd the same sentiment but a different older Hero Arts leaf image called  "Leaf with Stitching."  I inked the leaf with Soft Vanilla and Soft Leaf shadow inks and overstamped the sentiment in Peeled Paint.  It's a very subtle, soft card.


   
That's it for today...back to the mountain of laundry that awaits!
Thanks for stopping by!

    What wonderful leaf stamps...gotta love Hero Arts! :) I like how you stamped multiple leaves with one standing out on the first card. I love the pretty single leaf with the sentiment on the second! Thanks so much for joining us at CASology this week! :)

    These are great leaf cards, Judy. I love that sentiment! I especially love the perfectly CAS design on the one-layer. That tan leaf is so pretty.
