Curtain Call Reminder: Lovely Leaves

This is just a reminder that the Lovely Leaves challenge at Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge is open for three more days.

I made another card bringing in the amazing colors of the inspiration graphic.  I love those brilliant leaves on the frosty gray background!


I have a full collection of Distress Inks but I rarely get them out.  At this point, I have no idea why - because what an amazing wash of brilliant color they can give.  Of course, they can also easily give a wash of soft pastels or neutrals.  I think I need to bring my distress inks within easier reach of my core crafting area!!
This is a new die by poppystamps (Memory Box) and I am totally in love.  I got the Maple Leaf, Birch Leaf and Aspen Leaf.  They all have that narrow edge that you can use to frame in a different color and they all have a vein pattern in the leaf.
I hope you are inspired and think about playing along.  If you are a fall-lover as I am, be sure to check out all of the entries at Curtain Call,  Just clicking over to the page will get you in an autumn mood!
