To continue to show my love of the autumn season, I made an easel card this week using Sketchy Leaves along with the cracked glass and ruffled ribbon techniques.
After printing the leaf print on my card stock, I colored it using sponge daubers and my ink pads. It couldn't be easier and I think it looks pretty cool.
I apologize for the quality of my photos this week. I took these pretty late at night and was having some issues with my home-made light box.
Remember to stop by the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff store on mygrafico for the 30% off sale before it ends on Saturday night.
I also have some other good news. Laurel Seabrook has joined the LSS team. Please stop by her blog and give her a warm welcome.
The rest of the DT also has some wonderful projects to show you this week and, as always, Lindsay will have a special treat available for free on her blog.
