Elegant Leaves

*Whew...the blogger Gods were not being friendly today, they ate my pictures...go figure...Well I offered up a few tokens and I'm all set again...thanks for your patience!

It seems like it's taken me forever to get this card posted. I finished it a over week ago and just never got around to doing the post...I'm being L A Z Y!

So, here it is, my 3rd and final creation for the sketch challenge over at DeNami. I just LOVE this sketch and plan on using it quite a lot...it's so versatile and fun to play with.
I had already made some fun and  whimsical cards but I really wanted to create something elegant. I was looking through my newly acquired stash of DeNami sheer ribbons and thought how beautiful they were and decided that the green would be perfect for something elegant.


I recently ordered some sage green cardstock from DeNami...it's such a pretty shade...LOVE it. I paired it with hunter green and white for the panels. I started out using colored pencils to color in the leaves (see the panel laying in front of the card). However, I wanted to keep it simple and clean and was afraid that if I colored the leaves it would be too busy...what do you think, would you have colored it in?

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think....good or bad....or even better - what would you have done differently??...crafty minds wanna know!
