Floating Leaves Accordian Card

I LOVE the accordion die Karen Burniston  designed for Sizzix....

I have seen several done with acetate and thought I would give a try....

My only tip is, next time I would use a thinner acetate, so it will bend better...

 

 

I cut my leaves with a new die from Impression Obsession "small leaves"

 

 

I painted the leaves with Autumn Twinkling H2O's...

I just love the shimmer it gives them.....

the sentiment stamped on the last piece

 is from JustRite stamp set called Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves.....

 

 

I stamped it with Staz-On Olive Green ink.....

It reads "we live for the bounties of fall, but the harvest of friendship is blessed above all.

I love that sentiment!!!!

 

I also love the fact that the leaves look as though they are "floating"....

I had this sitting up on a shelf in my kitchen yesterday and my daughter came in

spied and said "that is really pretty, where did you get that?"

that made me feel good, and I had great pleasure telling her I made it.
