Hello, crafting friends!
It's Saturday so it's time to inspire you to make a clean and simple card with just one word at Addicted to CAS! It was my turn to choose the code word this time and I've gone for something that enables you to keep going summer crazy, or think ahead to autumn if you adore those russety colours, OR get a head start on your festive cards with some winter foliage!!
Yes, I think I've covered all bases here :D
I recently took delivery of an Altenew set called Wallpaper Art which I couldn't wait to ink up! It was the leaves that attracted me with their mix of outlines and solids - so dimensional! Here they are having their first outing:
I stamped the front leaf group in brown ink, coloured the outline leaves with yellow, green and rust coloured pencils, masked off the group and stamped the smaller solid leaves over the top in rust ink. When I took the mask away, the rust coloured leaves appeared to be behind the main group. So simple!
The sentiment is a favourite from Uniko's Simply Said Blocks, stamped in brown ink, snipped out with scissors and mounted on dimensional pads.
I really hope this has inspired you to have a go! Do hop over to the Addicted to CAS blog where my team mates have plenty more inspiration for you. You'll find the Linky Tool at the bottom of the post and you can use it to share your own creation with us. Don't forget to keep your creation clean and simple with plenty of clear space! We can't wait to see what you make!
CHALLENGES
Since this is the first outing for this gorgeous stamp set, I'm sharing at Darnell's NBUS Challenge, the place for showcasing your Never Before Used Schtuff! I'm also joining in at Just Add Ink where the theme is Just Add Clean and Simple; also Color Dare 561 where I've chosen the bottom row Paprika/Shortbread/Mocha and have added in Honey Butter and Pine; I'm also playing at A Place to Start where Anything Goes with an optional twist of Leaves or Trees.

Thank you so much for your lovely messages wishing Eva a speedy recovery. It's always such a worry when things go wrong with dogs' paws but I am pleased to report that Eva has suffered no set backs in her recovery from the fungal nail infection and...
... things are going on pretty much as normal!
Love the warm autumnal colours and layout you used for the leaves, great pic of Eva enjoying her run.
