For today I am going to playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch. At first I saw this sketch I immediately thought of Iris Folding and since it is Fall a maple leaf would make for a perfect iris folding design. So without further ado, here is my card; enjoy!
 |
| Iris folding is an oldie but a goodie. This sketch screamed iris folding to me. I used color to CASE the sketch. |
 |
| The colors of autumn pop against the crisp white background. The embellishment is simply a twine bow with a sentiment tag. |
 |
| Left/Above: A detail showing the sentiment tag. I really like the acorn with the design connecting the season. Right/Below: Showing a detail view of the iris folding technique. |

When I was a little girl raking the leaves meant one thing; play! Jumping in and hearing the crisp leaves crunch beneath your boots was the best!! Until you become an adult...Yuk! Raking leaves now has become a chore. Something you do every Fall. And instead of crunching underneath your feet you are now crunching them into a bag for disposal. That is until I had children. They reintroduced me to the love of fallen leaves. The joy in their faces and the pure fun they have sends me back to my time with the leaves. Life's full circle moments are jarring at times but this time, it was pure bliss.
