Dynamic Duo Challenge

Hi All
It's been awful weather here on the South coast today and I have spent most of the marking dissertations so I am in need of a bit of crafting time. The Dynamic Duo challenge (http://thedynamicduoschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/) are celebrating their first anniversary this week so the challenge is to use one of the colour combos from the last year. I have chosen Pool Party and Soft Suede which go so well together.

To make this card you would need the following supplies :
Card stock :Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Soft Suede
Stampsets :Established Elegance, French Foliage, En Francais
Dies: Two tags
Punch : Itty Bitty Shapes pack
Embossing folder : Designer Frames
Ribbon : taffeta Soft Suede
Pearls

Until next time

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
