It's card catch-up day! Last week was the the third card in round four of our 4 x 6 card exchange. (Yes...I'm a little confused too...I had to map it out on my calendar.) Becky sent hers to the condo....so I just got it today when I arrived. If by chance you are new to the blog and wonder what the 4 x 6 project is all about you can read about how it started here in this post called "Something New": http://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2020/08/something-new.html
Becky celebrated the end of the garden season with leaf prints. She used stamp pads to coat the leaves then printed them on cardstock. I love the way she cut them apart showing little peek-a-boo stripes of color and how she built up parts to give it dimension.
On the back is a velum pocket with some of her post frost blooms....and a few of the actual leaves she used for her prints. You're a clever one Rebecca Lou!
My card for round 4 was just like the others and I made it before I left for WI. Last week was the keeper week so this one goes into my box. This week starts round 5 and I think I should have Brenda's card ready to go in the mail tomorrow. I started it in Lexington this past week and since I was away from my studio it was one of those make it work projects. I will not report on it for a few weeks as I want both Brenda and Becky to get theirs so the theme and technique will be a surprise.
I think these cards look pretty nice together....I'm so glad to be getting back to a little art. It feeds my soul.
I write these posts in the evening....but most people read them the next day including Margie.
Happy Birthday Margie!
