Gently Falling Collage Thank You - Challenge 192 LNS

With the cool nights and the warm days the leaves on the trees are really starting to turn to brilliant red, yellows, oranges and some brown.  It's absolutely breath taking.
The challenge with the Late Night Stamper's Group is "tearing" and I try to emulate some of the colors I have seen.

Technique:
The Early Espresso card base is layered with Whisper White, and then Core'dination Early Espresso card stock embossed with the Wood grain folder.  The latter was lightly sanded.
Panel:
I took a panel of Whisper White and sponged the following colors on it:  Riding Hood Red, Cajun Craze, Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango, and Daffodil Delight.
Then, using Soft Suede ink, the images of the stamp set "Gently Falling" were stamped all over the panel in a random fashion.
Now comes the tearing part.  I tore both long sides of the panel and then sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink.  The panel was matted with Crumb Cake card stock, which was also torn down the long sides and sponged with Soft Suede ink.
Embellishment: 
Three leaves were die cut using the Autumn Accents die, folded in half and embossed with the Woodgrain folder.  They were then sponged with the same colors was the panel, and spritzed with gold smooch.  Stampin' Dimensionals were used to adhere the leaves together.
The ribbon is Crumb Cake seam binding held in place by a ribbon slide, and adhered to the embellishment with a dimensional.
