Here's today's card -
I cut die #2 from the Cascading Leaves Die Set into a piece of Coconut White Card to create an aperture. Once my Pixie Powder background was dry, I trimmed it to slightly smaller than my Coconut White Card with the aperture in it and glued the 2 pieces together. I matted it onto a piece of Dark Roast Coffee Card and onto another piece of Coconut White.
I cut both the dies in the Cascading Leaves set out of Dark Roast Coffee Card. I glued the frame piece into the aperture.
I selected 2 of the leaves and cut the same ones out of some spare Pixie Powder background. I glued them together, offsetting them slightly to create a drop shadow.
I cut the sentiment from the Life is a Garden Die Set and added to the top left-hand side of my card.
