SU Only Leaves

I came across a challenge blog today... as you do when hopping from creation to creation... which is for Stampin' Up products only and their theme this week is leaves. Well this was right up my street as I love leaf images and I love Stampin' Up, so here is a CAS card using the  French Foliage set, which I have to admit is one of my all time favourite stamp sets.
The squares were cut with Nesties and mounted on a rectangle the exact width of the card which was hand embossed both above and below the panel. The card was similarly treated either side of the ribbon.
I'm just about to cut my husband's hair... we must have saved so much cash over the years by my ministrations in this department... all the more for my stash fund!

    Good morning Chrissie, I just wanted to say that I have not deserted you, I still drool over all of your wonderful creations but unfortunately I do not get time to comments very often. I now have a week off work so I am hoping to catch up on some that I have sadly neglected :o)

    A beautiful Autumnal card Chrissie - I adore anything from SU (was at another SU party yesterday - spent too much, as always)!
    Your comment about cutting hubby's hair made me smile as I always cut my hubby's hair too - just wish I could get my hair done for free!!
    Hugs, Sylvia xx

    WOW! The clean and simple look of this card is stunning - love the way you repeated the leaf images a bit offset each time. Really gives a look of movement. Thanks for joining us at SUO Challenges this week!
