New AAA Cards Challenge - Follow My Lead

 

We're back today with a new challenge on the AAA Challenge Blog:

For this challenge it's 'follow my lead' and we're following this beautiful card made by Ceal:

You can follow the card as it is or put your own twist on the design as long as we can see Ceal's card reflected in the end result.

For more details about the challenge and to see the inspiration from the rest of the team, head over to the challenge blog here.

I took my inspiration from the ink blended arch shape (behind the leaves), the leaves and acorns, the colours and the sentiment.

Here's another view of my card:

To make my card I made a mask using one of the arch dies from Stampin' Up and then applied Stampin' Up Crumb Cake ink through the aperture.

With the aperture mask still in place I used a Stampin' Up leaf and acorn stencil with Distress Inks in Spiced Marmalade and Barn Door and Stampin' Up inks in Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow.

The sentiment is a stamp from Stampin' Up.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
