Cardmaking - die cut photo with an inked card front and a paper leaf

I kept this one simple so the photo would really stand out.   The photo is one my sister Sylvia, has used in the many photo calendars we receive every year for Christmas.  They spend the year on our desks and in the new year the photos get added to the card making supplies and show up over time on my cards.  

This one was taken on our trip to Canmore a few years ago!!  I die cut it with two square Nestibilities to make a double frame.  I backed it with orange - coordinates very nicely.  I chose a blue card front and green strip which really work with the colours in the photo.  I stamped the blue card front with the "Worn" from Stampin UP which works really well for subtle colour.  The left I found in my stash and was appropriate in colour and the season.   

I will be sending it soon in hopes it arrives in time with our rotating postal strike.  Therese
