City Crafter 232

Hello!

Well autumn has descended with wet and windy weather here in the UK... DH is miserable because he can't go golfing

Today at City Crafter the theme is 
Leaves


Chosen for us by the lovely Anna ... Sadly this will be Anna's last week with us here at CCCB ... Unfortunately life has just become too busy for her to continue with us ... We will be very sorry to see her go ... 
"Anna I wish you all the very best and I'm still looking forward to seeing your beautiful unique creations ... be happy"

I've loved making my own leaves recently, sponging them and coating them with glossy accents ...
However, the large leaf on my card was fussy cut from paper and then sponged and glossed


I stamped my background and used TH pewter distress paint to add some splats and drips


The little leaf is handmade and the canvas 'Fall' sticker is from my stash


This week and for the rest of the month we have a Star Guest Designer 
Greta of GG Creations
Hop over to her blog and check out her lovely work

Our winner this week will also win a GD spot with us here at City Crafter so link up your creations and go visit the Blog to see the inspiration projects from the rest of our team

Thanks so much for your visit ... Enjoy your day

~ Ros ~

Fabulous card - I love the combination of the leaf and the key. I cannot believe that leaf is not the real thing.

I love it Ros! The stamped leaves and splatters for background are perfect, love the neutral colour, letting that richly colored and glossed leaf to take center stage.
Send us some rain...we could sure use it :)

Beautiful leaves and a beautiful card, Ros! Have a wonderful Tuesday! and no I don't usually do pink, I am not fond of the color and it is hard to photograph!

This is so heavenly, Ros! I took a look at your post above this too, where you made envelopes out of papers you 'half-liked', and I must say that's such a great idea!

Another special fall card - love it! And the splats are just... perfect in their imperfection.

Those leaves are wonderful splashes of color on your card Ros. I really like that Paper burlap piece for the added texture too. Hugs!
