Today a new challenge is up at
and is being hosted by our 'sistah' Agata.
She has chosen the theme
'Close To Nature'.
Here is a simple definition of nature below.
Simple Definition of nature. : the physical world and everything in it (such as plants, animals, mountains, oceans, stars, etc.) that is not made by people. : the natural forces that control what happens in the world. : the way that a person or animal behaves : the character or personality of a person or animal.
I originally had planned on using a deer stamp I had
but I also have been trying to use up some of the things
I have previously stamped, created, cut etc.
So, while I was digging around in my bags of goodies
I came across this leaf I had made as a 'trial'
a few years ago when I purchased some
gilding flakes.
A leaf stamp was used, stamped in glue first.
There is a fabulous tutorial on youtube of how to do it.

If you have never tried this technique, do so,
as it is fun (messy) and makes a beautiful image when done
I think nothing says nature like a leaf....
especially in the fall when they are all over the place...lol!
I cut a gold metallic frame die to frame it in.
The little flower is a leftover die cut from a previous project
and it feels so good to use it up!
Take a visit to The Sisterhood of Crafters
and see what my 'sistahs' have created

Beautiful leaf and frames perfectly.
A beautiful fall leaf! and the flower embellishment is perfect! Thank you for joining our Fall/Halloween challenge at One Crazy Stamper.
Amazing again! I would have thought the leaf was a die cut, but a stamp? WOW! So beautiful! Not sure how much stamping I'm going to do while watching Wally so closely. Will do an update later...
Thanks for joining the Challenge at One Crazy Stamper! Cheers, Lora
