Hello! Yesterday was the first day of fall and the leaves are already falling even before they change colors. I created the background for this card using leaves from my yard (actually did this a few years ago). I placed the leaves on a printer and scanned them to a file on my computer....sort of created my own digital patterned paper. Took a few trials before I got them arranged to my liking. To make my card I just printed the leaves on a white card stock. Trimmed the image and attached it to a layer of Yellow CS inked with a wine Copics. I used a card base of Gold Yellow CS. For the focus of my card, I stamped a sentiment from Gina K Designs A Year of Leaves (2009) set with Distress Ink Aged Mahogany on a panel of the Gold CS and distressed the edges with the same ink.
