Leaves Falling for You - Unscripted Sketches #180

Again, since I had a lot of leaves left over from a previous project, this card uses some of these leaves in its design.  It is made for the sketch challenge with Unscripted Sketches here

 

Technique:
The card base is Early Espresso layered with Crumb Cake card stock which is embossed with the Brocade folder.  Using a dauber, the embossed cardstock was painted with Champagne shimmer paint.  This makes it look like gold paper.
Image: Three pieces of Very Vanilla card stock were cut and sponged with Early Espresso ink.  They were mounted on a piece of Champagne glitter paper.
The leaves were mounted on the various size pieces with dimensionals.  Crystal effects was applied to the acorn.
Embellishment: A piece of Early Espresso Baker's twine was wrapped around the crumb cake layer 3 times and a button was attached to the string.

Stamp: Itty Bitty Banners
Inks: Early Espresso, Riding Hood Red, Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight (for the leaves)
Papers: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Champagne glitter paper, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Itty Bitty framelits, Autumn Accents die, Woodgrain folder, Brocade folder, Square lattice folder, Gold Smooch, Champagne shimmer paint, Early Espresso baker's twine, Neutrals button, dimensionals, Crystal Effects.
