BELLI CHALLENGE #36 LEAVES

TO LEAVE or NOT TO LEAVE? That is the question... ***giggle*** More on that below...

What is the Belli Challenge you ask?

Each week, I try to give us a challenge that will use things we have lying around our stamp rooms! With a constant flow of new things coming out, I tend to forget about the other things I have and they quickly become clutter!

This Weeks Belli Challenge is to use a LEAF...ANY kind of leaf... I know in my stamp room alone, I have about 4 leaf stamp sets, 3 packages of skeleton leaves (HAD to have those a few years ago and there they sit), Leaf Brads and Leaf paper and probably other leaf treasures!

Here is what you need to do...

Make a completed project embellishing your work with your LEAVES. Share the link here in the comments linking to my Blog and CBC36. When you post to Splitcoaststampers or to your Blog, be sure and put CBC36 as the KEYWORD and mention of the challenge - with a link!

I will do a random drawing for all participants and have a special pack of assorted Designer Papers for the winner!

The winner of last week's Challenge was ED check out her beautiful project here. Ed please contact me at adickinson@wi.rr.com and I will mail you your pack of DP. Thank you for participating!

Here are the details of my card:
Stamp Set: My personal design Autumn Blessings

Paper: Old Olive, Basic Black, Really Rust, More Mustard, Glossy White, Whisper White
Ink: Craft same as above, Versamark, Black Staz On
Accessories: Iridescent Ice EP, Heat Tool, Nestibilities, Dew Drops, Scalloped Edge, Paper Piercing Tool, Lg Oval Punch, Gold Zig Painty,Dimensionals, Mustard grosgrain, Mat Pack, Skeleton leaves

I could not decide if I should have the extra leaf or not. I think I like it better WITH. What do you think? Too busy? This is also Faith's Sketch Challenge for the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Release Party. You can win the stamp sets for each challenge if you participate in them! You can view the challenges here and you have until October 7th at 12 p.m. to post you art work!

Thank you for looking and commenting. Be sure to check out the FABULOUS Belli Challenge Design Team's creations!!! Since I am posting early, these will probably be posted Wednesday morning sometime!
