CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #551 colours

 hello crafters and welcome to a new year of CC&S challenges!

I'm hosting for January and we're starting with a colours challenge. These colours reminded me of falling leaves, so I did an autumn themed card.

The background was lightly ink blended. The leaf pile die was cut from kraft card, inked randomly then had some little leaf die cuts adhered over the top. I just love the little falling leaf dies with their curly travel - so sweet! 

Thanks so much for stopping by - we'd love to see your card in our gallery.


  • dies: Paper Rose birdie, all others Gummiapan dies
  • stamps: Gummiapan
  • inks: antique linen, peeled paint, carved pumpkin, ground espresso distress oxide inks

    Rachel you pile of autumn leaves is perfect in these colours - I love the embossed detail of the falling leaf trails - sometimes it's the little things!
