Before...then after... and the final touch

The BEFORE.........


Certainly celery, barely banana, and pixie pink, two SU stamp sets brought me to my knees begging for some inspiration and here's what came of it....



MS's bday is in October and I needed a great card. Something happened in the left side of my brain and this was made. Was not happy and walked away to come back later and create something else. Well my age and upbringing would not let this card go in the blue basket at my right foot (the trash)sooooo.............I got out my primas and leaves and buttons and.......this is what she got!!!!!

The AFTER.............................................

I smathered the barely banana with Tobow Aqua liquid adhesive and layered on some leaves from CTMH from Kristin. They're called Just Blooms Autumn Leaves. Close To My Heart has clear stamps and tons of paper and embellishments. On top of the leaves I placed primas from Bazzill and some bottom of the drawer buttons. Bottom of the drawer means I no longer recall who made it, the name or the color whether it's buttons, paper, ribbon, etc. If an item is in it's original packaging/wrapper then I can give credit where it's due, otherwise BOTD. Then it needed something more and I added a yellow strip on the side where it opens.And the final touch.....

Hope you like it and thanks for coming by!!!!
