Fall Tree & Leaves Card

Good morning! It is wet and rainy here this morning, but at least the temperatures are warmer than they have been the last few days. I have another fall card to share with you today. I don't generally make fall cards, but I own some wonderful cutter files and there have been some incredible fall-themed challenges. For this card, I layered Hot Off the Press patterned paper over dark brown cardstock for the background. Then I matted dark red cardstock (embossed with Forest Branches) on another piece of dark brown cardstock. Using a cutter file from Beloved Keepsakes (Colors of Fall), I added the tree and leaves. Finally, I used a gold gel pen to add some faux stitching.

  3. Kelly, that is so pretty. LOVE it. Get so jealous. Australian trees are spindly spiky eucalyptus stinky things. You can't fall into a bed of those leaves, I just want to jump right inside your card! x
