There are prizes up for grabs so be sure to leave comments on the blog posts!
I love Autumn & Spring! The neutral temps...not too cold, not too hot. The beautiful changing colors on the trees. I love when the streets are filled with colorful leaves, undisturbed. They are just so beautiful! My card today found inspiration in those changing and falling leaves.
I used a similar concept to what I used on the card I showed yesterday on this card. First I cut the new Cover Up Die: Leaf Pattern out of some fabulous new mint green/turquoise cardstock that I can't put down (here's a fair warning that you will be seeing it A LOT on my blog!!). I cut different patterned papers and replaced some of the leaves with the patterns. I love how some of the leaves on this die are stitched in typical LID fashion!
I cut the "joy" (have I said how much I like that die??) in black and then added a black strip to ground it. I love the contrast that the black adds to the card, especially against that mint/turquoise green. I added a black rhinestone for the dot on the "j". Can you believe that there is NO stamping on this card!! That doesn't happen for me very often!
(this "joy" die was released last month)

You are SOO right! The black is such a bold fabulous addition Jen!!! (especially that extra black stripe!)
Love the great pattern you created with the mixture of patterned and solid papers. The little strip of black gives the joy die cut a whole new look Jen.
