Something New and Something Old

Today I have made a card from some very old dies and stamps and one new die. I do love leaves as evidenced by all of the stamps and dies that I have. Unfortunately, I left them here in Florida. I must change that and bring some north when I go.  The trick is to remember that come May. Since I am here now, I am using them to the fullest. 



     New die from Altenew called Diamond Frame Cover Die
     Paper Trey Ink Dies that I have had for a long time. 
     Leaf Silhouette Die and Enclosed Leaf die and stamp. No longer available.
     I used Gina K Designs ink called Tangerine Twist and gold papers and embossing 
     powder.                       
     I wish you could see the gold better 

I am entering this card in the following challenges. 
The Paper Players     PP565 Tic Tac Toe ( last column on the right)
Color Hues Challenge   Brown and Orange
Just Us Girls Challenge Wild Card Leaves
The Four Seasons Challenge    Anything goes Fall

                                











Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!

  5. Yeah, I agree, that background die cut is magnificent, but I looooove your pretty Fall Foliage leaves, they are so beautiful! Get a little notebook and as you think of things to bring North come May, jot them down. We always say we'll remember such things, but it rarely happens lol

  6. I'd say we have a lot in common, Barbara. I have to pick and choose what crafty supplies to take when I go from place to place (three in all). I also have that leaf die and I can't remember when I last used it. I love that Altenew diamond for a background but I don't have it. You may have enabled me. Your card is wonderful and I'm glad you shared it with us at Just Us Girls.

  7. It would be hard to know what to keep in two places! Your new cover die is pretty amazing, and leaves never go out of style. Plus, they can be used in any season, really. I love what you've done with your beautiful combo, Barb! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Four Seasons!
