A sympathy / thinking of you card that is for Can You Handle the Pressure (Leaves), AAA Card Challenge (Sympathy or Get Well), and My Time to Craft (something tree-related, which of course, leaves are).
I used a leafy embossing folder for my background and an oval die cut for the sentiment that both cuts and dry embosses. For the focal image, I stamped the leaves in two different shades of green, trimmed the panel and popped it up on fun foam.
I can't do a post at this time of year without including a Christmas card. For Inkspirational (CAS with an Animal).
A simple stamped and watercoloured image, bordered with black, and on a mini slimline red card base.
