So, this challenge intrigued me. As I live in Scotland, we don't really celebrate fall or make a big thing of it. We certainly have Harvest Services in Church, but its definitely not something that there is a big fuss made about.
Anyway, because we don't celebrate fall, I didn't have very much in my stash that I could use for this. I have a "leaf" embossing folder, so that's where my inspiration started. I embossed the template onto black card. Once embossed I used gilding wax to colour the leaves brown, red and green. I used gold gilding wax to fill in the areas in between. Once complete, I quite liked the end result. I matted this onto really dark red/brown card, along with a bronze matt and this helped to lift the gilding wax out.
I downloaded a digi leaf and cut them out in different sizes then coloured them. I ruffled a piece of binding tape along the card and put a bow on it. I then cascaded the leaves all the way down the side in different sizes. I used my graphics package to make up a circular "Happy Fall Y'all" greeting, Here is the end result. I was quite pleased with it.
Just seen some fabulous news of "The OUTLAWZ" page. I have won my first site wide card challenge, for this entry.
