This week I am featuring these lovely Leaves 2 Wise Dies by Paper Smooches & I have teamed them with a cute Stamping Bella image called Patricia Loves Pumpkins
To create the leaves I blended a mix of distress inks onto white card stock & then die cut the leaves using the inky blend, & I have coloured the image with copics.
The sentiment is from Simon's Bouquet Of Thanks stamp set from the One Of A Kind release & I have stamped it with Simon's Dark Chocolate ink pad.

skin - E11, E00, E000, R30, hair - E44, E43, E41, clothes - E43, E41, E40 / YR24, YR21, YR20 / C3, C1, C00, Pumpkin - YR27, YR07, YR04, YR15, Leaves - BG99, BG96, G85, Sunflower, YR23, YR21, YR20.

My second card today features a die from Simon Says Stamps new release
& is called Holly Oval Frame.

There are so many gorgeous products in this new release that I want them all lol.
I created this card when I was really poorly & as my head was absolutely pounding so I chose to create it very simply and even that was a struggle at the time!

I created a simple water colour wash background with Primas Pastel Dreams Water Color Confections set & die cut my Holly Oval Frame using Hero Arts Woodgrain card stock. I also used Simon Says Stamps & Dies On A String set from the STAMPtember release & stamped the snowflakes and sentiment using Simon's Audrey Blue, Deep Sea & Surf Blue ink pads.
I used foam pads to mount the Holly Oval Frame & also some of the snowflakes to add more dimension to my card & finished with some Simply White Crystal Drops.



Thanks for stopping by
