Little Red Leaves

Stampin up dreams du jour big shot 3
 

Break the rules and go for interesting color combinations . . . even red leaves.  Papercrafts should include artistic experimentation, discovery and a bit of adventure (at least that's my perspective)!  TIP:  I saw today's color combination in a home d?cor magazine and couldn't wait to translate it into a card.

Stampin up dreams du jour big shot little leaves

Using a Big Shot, I die-cut Real Red Textured card stock with Sizzlits Little Leaves, a Stampin' Up! exclusive die (for $4.95, a budget-friendly purchase).  To spice up the color even more, I layered my stem over Apricot Appeal Textured card stock.  Against a backdrop of Basic Gray and White, the red really says "wowie!"

TIP:  A Circle Scissor Plus cut the circles with ease.  I'm loving this tool, new to the Stampin' Up! catalog, for cutting circles from 1 to 6".  I wedged Stampin' Dimensionals between both circles (the second in Basic Gray).  It's layered over Real Red 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Urban Garden Designer Series Paper and a Whisper White 4.25 x 5.5 card base.  The bottom right corner was shaped with a Corner Rounder Punch.

The sentiment from Dreams du Jour was stamped in Basic Gray Ink on Whisper White and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to Real Red card stock.  The final detail is three Circle Rhinestone Brads from the Fire Collection.
