A Leafy Thank You (CCMC165)

It’s Thursday and that means another challenge at Create with Connie and Mary! This week, there is a great colour challenge for you:

I decided to use Naturals Ivory for my base on this card and Basic Black as the highlight colour. Yes, you may be saying, isn’t that Old Olive? Yeah. I’m a bit of a dope and used Old Olive instead of Lucky Limeade (I just figured that out as I’m putting this together).

I’ve used the new stamp set Gently Falling from the Holiday Mini catalogue which is now available for order TODAY! Yeah! Make sure you take a look at this amazing mini offering my clicking here.

The outline stamps were used in the challenge colours to make my own background paper and I then stamped the solid leaves with a black outline on the three overlapping panels.

A few little extra details help finish this off:  Some Basic Black Striped Grosgrain which I coloured using my Stampin’ Write markers. Various Bolds buttons tied with Linen thread and a little stamped and pinned on tag complete the card.
