Hello!
Today's card is one with a really different spin for me. I had an idea in my head but knew it was way out of my comfort zone but you have to at least try, right?! It's already zipping its way to the recipient, and hopefully received! Hope you all like it! Happy Birthday, Michele ~
I die cut my orange leftover piece with some alpha dies and attached it flat to the woodgrain c/s. I had the two leaves in my bin of snippets, but I ink-blended them to stay in the right colors. I decided to die cut the two leaves into the brown leftover panel making it a negative, popped it up and inlaid the snippet leaves in the panel. Three snippets used, two more made -- are you keeping count? Just so you know, the two new ones were placed inside the card -- back to zero! From a kraft snippet, I cut the acorn and tag, ink-blended on the acorn, then heat embossed the sentiment. This next photo shows the inlaid dies.
Well that's all for me folks, except the challenges this'll go to Color Hues #29, Pixie's Snippets #415 and NBUS #32 ~
Supplies:
Alt. - Linear Pathway Alpha (NBUS)
PTI - Smooth Numbers
LF - Stitched Leaves
W+9 - Woodland Basics
ME - True Friends (selective stamping of sentiment)
CCC - Bday Wishing (inside sentiment)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,

Very clever, the leaves are like an optical illusion. One glance they looked stacked, glance again and they look inlaid. Lovely card for an Autumnal/Fall birthday x
That is a wonderful card for your friend. I love all the pretty leaves and the end result of your idea is a beautiful card!
Super looking autumnal card. Love the acorn made from snippets.
