Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  Isn’t this a pretty, unusual necklace!  I love the colors of the leaves!

 

Love of Leaves

I know I’ve mentioned it before…but I love the Stitched Leaves Dies that is part of the Love of Leaves Bundle.  This inspiration necklace was a perfect excuse to pull it out again!

Stampin’ Details:

• • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Very Vanilla cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top is the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake Plaid Tidings Designer Paper.
  • FALL was cut with the Playful Alphabet Dies from the 1-1/4 x 4 piece of Soft Suede cardstock and adhered to the lower front.
  • Happy was cut with the Well Written Dies from Early Espresso cardstock and adhered on front.
  • The long narrow leaves were cut from Mint Macaron (2) and Soft Suede (1) cardstock with the Stitched Leaves Dies.
  • The small leaves were cut from Balmy Blue (2) cardstock with the Stitched Leaves Dies.
  • The larger leaves were cut from Seaside Spray (2) cardstock with the Stitched Leaves Dies.
  • All the edges were sponged with Crumb Cake Ink and they were stacked and adhered down the left side.
  • The flowers were punched with the Small Bloom Punch from Merry Merlot, Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla, sponged with Crumb Cake Ink and added to the leaves.
  • The centers are the Elegant Faceted Gems in two colors.
  • Some Linen Thread was folded in half and tied in a bow, then added under the flowers.

 

Don’t you love it? I think I captured the look of the Inspiration challenge, don’t you?  Honestly, I tore it apart a couple times because I didn’t like the layout of the leaves…but finally got it right!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
