glorious leaves

Hello Friends, How are you? Are you enjoying the holiday spirit or are you in a bah hum bug mood? I am always thankful for crafting because it brings me such happiness. Since Simon Says Stamps NEWEST release I have been dying to play with these “Clustered Leaves” and I finally had a chance to sit down and just craft away!
(I share all of the new goodies in this post. )
You can see the leaves in all white and how they were transformed with some easy  Copic coloring. The “Perfect Bow” die cut is really perfect and can give any card that perfect pop. 
The “Stardust Stickles” gave the perfect amount of glorious sparkle. I love to use these brushes to apply the stickles because I feel more of the glitter gets on to my project. For the background I embossed on this thick card stock and added some distress ink. 
Here is a pictorial of the steps. I did die cut the leaves TWICE and colored one of the clusters a solid color. Then cut out and colored leaves and glued onto the solid leaves. Email me if you have any questions. Thanks for taking time from your busy day to visit. Hugs, Kathy
