Happy Tuesday, peeps! The As You See It Challenge is a recipe, and although I had an idea in my head for it, it sort of morphed into something else! Here's the recipe prompt:
This is a great "recipe" for a fall card! I recently ordered some goodies from Unity and they sent me a nice little brown paper bag full of goodies to play with! I promptly put some of them to work on my card:
The orange-hued paper was my starting point (from Unity!); I mounted it on a Crumb Cake card on which I embossed two little lines of cross stitching. The paper bag (again from Unity) was cut into a tag, stamped with a sentiment, and embossed with the Dashing Designs embossing folder. I added a second tag, punched from a Pecan Pie piece of cardstock that was stamped with a tag stamp from Close to My Heart.
The gold metallic leaf was also from Unity; I anchored it with a retired glimmer brad. There are acetate elements on the tag and behind it to add to the fall feeling! Finally, a bit of brown gingham ribbon to finish it off.
This might become a sympathy card, or maybe a birthday card....I'll add an inside sentiment when I need it! I haven't done one of these collage-style cards in a while, so it was fun to pull some interesting pieces together! Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

Hi Leslie! Thought I'd return the visit and leave you some love on this beautiful card while browsing your blog. Your fall card morphed into something stunning! I love all the texture and patterns. Collage style is one of my favorite styles, as anything goes. The double stitched edge is such a great touch to the background. Subtle but still noticeable. A gorgeous card for either of the occasions you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, those folks at Unity knew just who would put that collection of goodies to beautiful use! I see brilliant colors of Autumn and the acetate pieces are perfect for a fall collection!
ReplyDeleteOf course, you must know by now that I love those darling 'stitches' right?

This is beautiful, LeAnne! Love everything about this!! The colors, the tag and the diecut stitching completes this beautifully!!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great recipe to use and you nailed it with your beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast with the kraft and brilliant orange! The double tags are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, LeAnne - LOVE those botanical stickers, and your cross stitch stitching down the long edge - just perfect with the bold pop of Orange! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteWow! LeAnne, that orange paper is stunning and I love your two tags of differing sizes and all the autumn bits you have displayed on your card! Also there is no shortage of delicious texture, which adds so much depth! Thanks for cooking up our recipe here at As You See It Challenges!
ReplyDeleteThis is layered in autumn prettiness, LeAnne! Love those sweet stitched accents to bits!
ReplyDeleteMy word! This is just brilliant! The richness of that orange tree dsp is amazing, especially against the crumb cake. That cross stitched line of embossing is wonderful, the tag with the cluster of gorgeous things.... it's a perfect use of the recipe elements. Thank you for joining us at As You See It.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you brought all of the elements together on your card LeAnne and that orange DSP is stunning! It highlights the Crumb Cake elements beautifully; such a great collage feel to your card. Perfect for our As You See It Challenge this week too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card. The little "goodies" from Unity are always fun to receive. I need to use them up on cards now. You did amazing with yours.
