The Gentle Path....

I still had this paper on my desk and this sentiment stamp from recent cards. I wish I could be a more tidy stamper and clean up after every card, but I am not.... I am better than I used to be, but things still tend to hang out on the desk for a few days before they go back where they belong. Generally I am fighting a good pile of stuff heaped on the desk before clean up begins. I am really enjoying using some of the newer Spellbinder Nesties. This card uses Labels Nine to frame the sentiment and it used again on the leaf panel, but just turned the opposite way. I like the balance of the lines that mimic one another on a card; I used only the Nestie shape and everything else is a square for this card's elements. Behind the sentiment is another one of the New CB folders - Herringbone---ohhh, I love it! I embellished only with some small gold square stickers in the corners and a few stitch marks to finish the card. I did sponge around the edges with the same ink I stamped in. The leaves were stamped using one of IO's large background stamps: Greenery #CC018. I only stamped it one time, cutting out the Label from the inside of the large square, which got covered up. Now you know there is a hole in the layers under there!!!
