Let them eat cake

Lately we've been seeing lots of cake buntings popping up. And even a cupcake bunting. The originator of these is Kiki La Ru, who has a wonderful Etsy Shop with a great selection of buntings. We were so inspired that we decided to try our hand at a silhouette version.

Silhouette Leaves

Found today via Gracious Inspiration and I just had to share. These silhouette leaves were created by Nature's Art, a Chinese company that makes them using a 60-step process. The leaves aren't made by cutting the leaves but rather carving them, which removes the surface without cutting the veins. 



Every leaf speaks bliss to me, 

Fluttering from the autumn tree.
