Fall Leaves



Hello Everyone
Welcome to another fun challenge at
the theme this month 
Everything Fall


For my card, I started with white cs and a handful of distress inks.  Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Antique Linen, Ground Espresso and Old Paper.  I smudged and flicked - smudged and flicked.
I then stamped leaves from Simon Says in Peeled Paint and Walnut Stain on kraft cs and then cut them using the coordinating dies for the set.
The sentiment was also from the same set stamped in Walnut Stain and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  I mounted it onto a side fold kraft cs base.  I added a bakers twine bow onto the large leaf and then crystal acrylic drops scattered about.

I hope you have fun playing along with this months challenge.
