What's the 'WORD' at Just Us Girls?

Once again it is 'Word Week' at

Just Us Girls and Sharyn is our Host
choosing LEAVES as 'The Word'

 

 

It's getting that time of the year over the pond called 'Fall'

and I am celebrating 'Spring' -

however to keep in line with the challenge

I have made my card using gilding flakes

in what I call 'Autumn' colours.

Now anyone that has used these flakes knows

the mess you can get yourself into -

gluing the shaped dies with the flakes

(don't breathe out)

and making sure you have covered them all.

I really did get messy with this card because

after I successfully glued flakes to my fingers

I cleaned them off just to get inky again

with my background.

Those leaves I think turned out beautifully

and needed a background to match.

Using a Memory Box stencil I painted it up

with Inka Gold using my fingers yes my fingers

to give it a little dimension.

I popped it up after it was dry also popping

those leaves from an old  Cuttlebug die.

Added some coloured cotton

and that very American sentiment from GKD

Finished with some gems.

I really did enjoy making this card -

after all what's fun if you

don't get a bit messy just sometimes.
