French Foliage – in brights

Good morning Stampers, happy Monday to you.  Fun weekend around here, did lots of yard work out in the sunshine, the dogs loved that, started my blog tour projects, I loved that, and I finished the "item" I'm sharing with you tomorrow for my "COUNT DOWN to the CHRISTMAS" weekly share.

Ok, I have a little share for you today, and a warning.  It's BRIGHT.  I'm working with Very Vanilla for the blog tour, and I think I was missing color when I stopped and created this card, LOL.

see what I mean, tee hee…

and this caused it, it's an add in a flyer for dishes

Card base is 5-1/4 x 10-1/2 Cherry Cobbler, score and fold at 5-1/4

Mat is 5 x 5 – Old Olive

Turquoise piece is 4-3/4 square

this  Daffodile Delight piece is 3-3/4, it will lay on top of a 4 x 4 mat of Cherry Cobbler.

I stamped the leaves with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive

I gold embossed this leaf on a piece of Cherry Cobbler, 2 x 2 square

matted to 2-1/4 square of Old Olive

I also sponged all my mats to add some depth to them

I used the "writing" stamp in the set, and Early Espresso ink to overstamp on the leaf, and also on the Daffodile, leaf stamped piece.

I used my Mat Stack and Piercing tool to add some interest around the outside of my background.

I used the "thin" tip of my Basic Black Stampin Write Marker to add some "stitches"

I taped down all my layers, then I added the "spill" or "dropplet" stamp to grung up my background a little.

by doing it this way, it looks like it did "splash" all over my piece, tee hee…
