C4C255 - Hello Gorgeous

Hello! :) I'm popping in to share a card I created for the current Crazy 4 Challenges C4C255 challenge, which is to create a card featuring leaves.

To create my card, I started by trimming a piece of leaf patterned paper, and stamping it with the word Gorgeous from Clearly Whimsy Stamps' Happy Hello set, then heat embossing with platinum powder.  I then die cut the Hello using the Hello Large Word DIe from cream CS.  Next, I created a snake braid using Whisker Graphics' Solid Teal Divine Twine, and secured it to the patterned paper.

I then adhered the patterned paper to the card base using pop dots before attaching the hello sentiment to the card front.  To finish up, I embellished with turquoise gems and covered the word die cut with stickles.

Want to play along with us this week? All you need to do is create a card/project featuring leaves, and upload it to the linky found on the C4C255 post HERE.

Have a great one!
