Be still...

Hi there!

Back in my craft room after a short break for some precious family time . Not too often that the four of us have the privilege to be under the same roof... and we made the most of it!

As always after time together the house feels extra quiet and I am thankful for a hobby which chases the blues away!

I used :

Image from : Life-happens-digital-stamp-set from Graciellie Design
Sentiment from : You-matter-digital-stamp-set from Graciellie Design
One of the layers form Design #165901 in the Silhouette store for the background
Silhouette cameo
Zig Markers
Pearls
Foam tape for dimension

Maple leaf

HI there!

I love leaves...sometimes they are just as beautiful as flowers. Giant Monstera tropical leaves fascinate me, juicy succulent leaves are amazing too... but this time of the year ... I especially love Maple leaves. The shape of course, but those colors!

Today's maple leaf is in a geometric style, gold and black, using those gorgeous colors in the watercolored background.

I used :

Geometric autumn leaf from the Silhouette store - Design ID #158041
Silhouette cameo
Distress oxide inks : Peeled paint, Spiced Marmalade, Vintage Photo
Sentiment from Altenew : Label love set
Foam tape for dimension
Versafine black ink

Another 'swiped' background using a credit card , distress oxide inks and spritzed water . Leaf cut twice, colored the top one with a gold paint marker and layered it between the top and bottom layers of the sentiment. Love how it gives a dimensional look to the leaf !
