Hello... Good Morning! I'm very pleased to be back once again with Team B at
and I am hosting a challenge of
Leaves and/or Trees
We would like your creation to have leaf/leaves or tree/s somewhere on your creation.... could be on your image, design paper or a die cut... as long as we can see it somewhere on your project.
And if you are making Christmas Cards at the moment... don't forget Holly Leaves will fit this theme! ;-)

Quite a simple layout and design for this card. I've used my swirly background stamp for the gold heat embossing on the background and on the holly which was made with punch. I dry embossed a panel for the centre. I went around the edges with a gold sakura pen to add definition. Then finished off with some gold ribbon/pearls and a sentiment from Hobbycraft.
I hope you can pop over to our main site at MAWTT and see the rest of the Team's wonderful leafy/tree creations and hope you can join us for this challenge...
looking forward to seeing your entries!! We allow three entries per person.
Don't forget you have two weeks for the challenge
closing date is 6pm GMT Wednesday 11th November 2015.

Gosh, I can't believe it's getting near the weekend again! it's scary how quickly the weeks are going by!!!
I'm finally getting near the end of all my appointments I had my Glaucoma Eye Tests yesterday.... and it went really well ... everything was perfectly normal... apparently I just have really thick corneas and they are giving higher than normal pressure readings. Phew, I'm very relieved. I have worried myself sick about these tests and they weren't half as bad as I thought they'd be.
I'm typing this on Wednesday evening and have just seen yet another huge spider run across my room.... it's hiding in the corner... think they come in through the brick vents in these old houses... as they always seem to come in when it's raining... ooh... hope I can sleep tonight! :-(
Thank you for all your lovely comments!
Will catch up with you all soon!
Love and hugs

A really beautiful and stylish creation Sue. You say it is simple but it looks like you spent hours on it.
Glad you are coming to the end of your appointments and the test wasn't as bad as you expected.
I don't like spiders either, did you get any sleep?
It is really heavy rain here today, so thank goodness I have something I can pull together for tonight's dinner. We will have to go out tomorrow and hope the weather is better.
Enjoy the rest of your day and evening.
Hugs

OMG Sue this is absolutely stunning, I love it. The heat embossing is so well done, I thought it was a patterned paper. Great theme this time from you, so versatile! Glad that your eye tests went well. I am laughing at your spider update..this is the one good thing about living in NYC in a purpose built block - no massive spiders...I am terrified of spiders :) Have a great weekend and thanks as always for all your lovely comments.

Gorgeus card Sue, love how you have cut the leaves the same as the border, xx
So lovely Sue, what a great design, love it!

Wow, Sue. This looks so elegant, I love the look of gold on white. And coloring the edges of the paper has a really nice effect, a great alternative to adding panels which will be make the card heavier. I'll think of this an alternative for future cards that will get mailed. It's really pretty with the golden ribbon, pearls and hollies. Well done!
You're a genius Sue, I didn't even think of Holly Leaves for this challenge! Gold and white are so elegant, this is such a stunning finished cards. Your textures are really special, I know someone will really cherish receiving this. x Jessie
Wow! this is a stunning card Sue, love the beautiful and elegant design.
