French Foliage CASE

By
French Foliage is one of my favourite Stampin' Up sets as I love nature - especially leaves. My blog friend Vicky also loves this set and a couple of days ago made a gorgeous Christmas card using one of the leaf stamps and turning it into a Poinsettia - take a look here. Well - I e-mailed her straight away asking her if I could CASE her idea. She said yes so here it is


The leaf was stamped in red, coloured with a Stampin' Write marker and cut out. I actually cut out 20 and made 3 poinsettia flowers. The leaf was then stamped on the Very Vanilla card stock in green and 2 of the flowers were stuck down flat. The third flower in the left hand bottom corner was stuck down on 3D foam pads - small yellow gems were then added to the flower centres.

I found a new (new to me!) challenge blog so I would like to enter this card
Cards & Things Challenges - color challenge - Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Crumb Cake.

Thanks for looking and thank you Vicky for letting me use your idea - Jacqueline xx.

    Brilliant - that was a good idea to use that leaf stamp to make poinsettias wasn't it? (saw it earlier in the week)

    Wow! I knew you'd do something spectacular Jacqueline and you certainly have. I love the way one of your poinsettias overlaps the main panel and the layering is so effective. Vx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!!
