I have made a card with leaves that are – let’s say, unconventional – in color! I got my inspiration from a photo that Connie Babbert posted on her Monday blog. Here’s the photo:
and here’s my card:
What’s your reaction? Do you love it? Do you think I’m a tad crazy? I kind of love it, myself! I used four colors from three ink pads: Petal Pink, Smoky Slate, Night of Navy, and Night of Navy stamped off once. The leaf stamp is from Colorful Seasons stamp set.
The sentiment, stamped with Night of Navy, is from Ribbon of Courage. The ribbon is Petal Pink and Copper. And I colored three little pearls with a Bronze Sharpie to (somewhat) match the copper threads in the ribbon.
This card could be appropriate for many occasions. I think I will give it to my neighbor who has been in the hospital recently and is home recovering now.
I hope you are having a wonderful week! We are enjoying cooler temps and the leaves are beginning to turn (not pink, blue, and gray however!) and I think summer is just about over. I love the Fall season! “See” you again soon,

Very pretty. Is your base 4.5 x 11 or 8.5 x 5.5?
Love the color combo.
Thanks, Diana! This base is 4.5 x 11.
I had to smile as I usually hate it when SU makes blue leaves or certain purples. But, this is more calming and subtle so I don’t hate it and it actually works together with this color combination. I just wouldn’t have created it but that is just me and it does work. I do love the placement of the leaves and the sentiment etc. making it a nice card.
Haha! Glad you don’t hate it, Chris!
Very nice. Love the color combo! I made my niece-in-law’s bridal shower invites with this combo. It was her wedding party too. (I did use the “in” pink color at that time.)
Have a blessed day.
🙂
Thanks, Nancy!
Gorgeous card, my friend. Love not just the colors but your use of white space. Very effective design!
Thank you, Linda!
Crazy?…no! Just really creative! This color combination is awesome and resulted in such a pretty card, Karen.
Ahh, thanks, Rosanne! It was either, Oh that’s pretty! -or- What was she thinking?!!
Thanks, Rosanne 🙂
