Fall Is Here

On the first day of October, it seems appropriate to share a card that has a fall look and feel.  This one is based on the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I used a leaf die from Concord & 9th's Layering Leaves to create a trio of rust-colored leaves.  Each leaf was adhered to a narrow cream cardstock panel. After matting the cream panels on gold paper, I adhered them to a rust panel with a strip of rich chocolate brown cardstock across the center.  I made sure to alternate the orientation of the leaves to add interest to the design.  For the sentiment, I stamped just the "thanks" from one of the sentiments from the Kindhearted set on a piece of gold paper.  I trimmed the paper down, then adhered it to one of the cream panels using foam tape. The finished panel was adhered to a chocolate brown card base.

Materials Used:
Kindhearted stamp set, Layering Leaves dies (Concord & 9th); Canyon Clay cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Chocolate Chip (Stampin' Up!); gold paper (Target); foam tape
