Just Us Girls #795 -- DIE Week

Join us! It is DIE week at Just Us Girls.  Bobby is challenging us to make a card using LEAF dies.   

I picked an older cover die from Altenew and inlaid all the pieces.  I just love the final look of an inlaid card.  First, I made an 8.5 x 11" sprayed panel.  If you spray a panel, get a big box and just go for it... spray the panel with all the fall colors you have.  I used metallic sprays in red, orange, yellow, green, purple and gold from Distress, Dylusions and Heidi Swapp.  After quartering the panel, I die cut the cover plate four times, and inlaid into four different bases.  The look is so different with the different backgrounds (from left gold, brown, dark gold and copper Stardream card bases).  A layered, die cut sentiment and glitter dots finished the cards.
