Hello! It's beginning to feel like fall and I love to make fall cards with beautiful autumn colors. I was playing with a GKD Stencil Rounded Swirl when I designed this card. I used Distress Oxide Inks Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, and Spiced Marmalade with the stencil on white cardstock blending the colors from light to dark and used masking to create a stripe. I stamped leaves from GKD A Year of Leaves set with the same inks and water colored with a water brush. I stamped one leaf and fussy cut it and attached with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment is from GKD Skeleton Leaves. I added some dew drops in different colors that blended with colors of the swirls. I have had these dew drops for years and never seem to deplete the supply. Before attaching the base card of GKD Kissed Autumn card stock, I added an orange satin ribbon ......the card just called for that finishing touch.
