smARTworks - Long Card under Same Sky

You must go to Susan's blog or the smARTwork's catty and see the latest releases! Wow, there is so much goodness!! I can't wait to get my hands on those owls, some of that new Christmas goodness, and all that Fun Stuff!!! How is a girl to pick!!?? (see pages 179 - 189 for new releases!!) Okay, on to my card for the day using older smART rubber. Sometimes it is nice to create a card that is a different size than the typical A2 size. This card is created to fit a business or legal size envelope. I started out stamping these awesome leaf images from smARTworks with Chocolate Chip ink onto some designer paper that had lots of greens and oranges on it (by K&Co. - an onld 8x8 pad). Then, I cut them out and layered them onto these blue circles and brown die cuts. I drew the square box around the dies and added the sentiment. Inside is the rest of the sentiment which reads "but we don't all have the same horizon" Overall, a simple card but I think it is very dramatic - I love the color combo! Supplies: Stamps - FL - 26 Leaves #4, WD 141 Horizon (both smARTworks); Ink - Chocolate Chip (SU!); Paper - Whisper White, Chocolate Chips (SU!), blue from scrap bin, green from scrap bin (but I remember it is K&Co.); Other- Chocolate Chip marker, ruler, 1 1/4" circle punch, Labels 1 Die (Spellbinders). I hope you have a great day! Donelda

Stunning in so many ways, Donelda! Of course I love the CAS layout, but the sketch itself is so fun as is the elegant color combo and those realistic leaves, too. Awesome card!!
