Woo hoo! The lovely design team at Just Us Girls has asked me to guest design with them for the month of September! And this week's word prompt seems ideal to kick off the September challenges: LEAVES. Although I'm not looking forward to the end of summer, I chose a fall palette of leaves anyway.
I used a trio of alcohol ink colours, plus a little gold, to create a Yupo sheet of autumn colours, then die cut my trio of maple leaves. The neutral, textured cardstock added some interest to the backing panel without taking away from the colourful leaves, I thought. Finally, a torn vellum strip with the sentiment embossed in gold, to bring out the bits of gold on the leaves.
The talented team at JUGs have many interpretations of LEAVES to inspire you! I hope you will find time to join us - the challenge runs until midnight EDT Thursday. Thanks again for inviting me to play along this month!
(This is the first of three posts today - I hope you will come back later for Inkspirational and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!)
Supplies: Papertrey Ink smoky shadow & Bazzill textured beige cardstock, Yupo paper, vellum, Hero Arts sympathy stamp, Versamark ink, Simon Says Stamp antique gold embossing powder, Jacquard Piñata señorita margarita, calabaza orange, sun bright yellow & rich gold alcohol inks, Poppy Stamps Maple Leaf & MFT diagonal stitched rectangle die

I haven't had a lot of luck with alcohol inks, but these gorgeous leaves are the inspiration I need to try again. Stunning card!
What gorgeous leaves, the secret might be yupo paper. I looked at my lovely two step stamping leaves set on Friday and put it back. DARN. Beautiful card and the leaves are the star of the show.
Your leaves are so gorgeous. Love how you got all those beautiful fall colors together...not muddled, just so crisp, distinct and random.
This is gorgeous, what a brilliant guest designer card. I love those colours and the vibrancy of the alcohol inks xx
