Share It Sunday Blog Hop - September 2021 | Gorgeous Leaves

The color inspiration just said "happy fall, y'all!"

 

Happy Sunday!  Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today I am hopping with some Crafty Collaborators along the Share it Sunday Blog Hop and the theme is share a project, any project.  There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!

Today's Projects

Inspired by a blog hop color challenge, I just had to create a project using the lovely colors that I never would not have selected myself until I went down memory lane and recalled they were colors that my hubby used to wear all the time when we were first dating - explains why I loved the combo! **WINK**

Project Details

The Gorgeous Leaves were stamped and off stamped with Bermuda Bay, Cajun Craze and Merry Merlot ink on Very Vanilla cardstock.  The fun began with the die-cutting with the coordinating Intricate Leaves Dies.  I felt like I was creating my own stack of leaves to jump into!  In fact I was having so much fun creating the leaves the morning of the mentioned blog hop that I got so immersed in creating cards that I lost track of time!  And, yes, forgot to submit my link.  **EYE ROLL**. I'm sure that some of you can relate!  **WINK**  

The immersed fun began when the embossing, the Baker's Twine and then the pearls needed to be colored to color coordinate... I just couldn't stop.  And then there were extras... so many extras that needed to be turned into cards along with some other leftover die-cut leaves.  Extreme focus creating moments!

One idea just let to another... so cards for another blog hop were made all based on the creativity for this one card!  **SWOON**

The inside layers were replicated and embossed to compliment the card front.  A stamped off version of an extra die-cut was used.  The envelope was stamped and off-stamped on the envelope front and flap to compliment the card design.

More Inspiration

I hope you have been inspired by my project to create some cards using color challenges for your inspiration to brighten someone's day by letting them know you care.  Now it's time to continue along the blog hop - you're currently with me, Angie McKenzie, at #13 - to get more inspiration from the others... so look at the list below and continue along.  You definitely don't want to miss any.
