Falling Leaves and Shade Trees

Hi friends.  The air is cooler and we've had lots of rain lately so it's beginning to fell like fall in the desert Southwest.  I really enjoy fall colors and leaves and trees and that's what I would like to share with you today.

Made in the Shade Cards

These samples are all made with Taylored Expressions Made in the Shade 2 stamp set and the coordinating Shade Tree die.  I sponged the fall background using Memento inks and jumbo daubers, and the Halloween background was sponged using the Taylored Expressions Cloud Border die as a cloud template. Images were colored with Copic markers.

Designers: Apple: Charmaine Ikach; Fall: Jami Sibley; School: Kendra Wietstock ; Halloween: Shannon White; Puppy Picnic: Sankari Wegman

I love the Apple Stacklets die set -- there are 7 dies in the set.  I made this largest die into a folding card.  If you want to see this technique in person, just stop in and ask.

Leaf Silhouette – Poppystamps die Leaf Silhouette; Designer: Jean Manis

Simple and showy is how I would describe the leaf silhouette die.  Add a sentiment and you've got a quick, colorful card.
