An Autumn Pop Up Tiered card - Paper Funday Challenge #80

 I made 3 of these pop up tiered cards using the instructions by Iced Images on her video tutorial here.

Autumn is one of my most favourite times of the year.  Fall changes are beginning to be noticeable in my garden, and when I'm gardening, I hear the geese flying overheard as they gather in the Lake near by. The trees are just beginning to turn here and I just love those wonderful shades of reds, yellows, greens,& oranges in the back drop of a robin egg blue sky.

I made this card with fall in mind - especially the falling leaves.  It is a pop up tiered card. I made an earlier card for a Birthday card challenge here

Our theme is: Anything Goes with the Optional Twist of: Changing Seasons

Here is how I created the color palette for the leaves. On a piece of watercolor paper, I added red, yellow, orange, green, dark green, blue ink using a finger dauber.  Then I spritzed the inked watercolor paper, moving the paper around to blend the colors.

When dry, I used leaf dies from Gorgeous Leaves and Autumn Leaves. to die cut leaves which I incorporated into my card design.

I also used die cuts from On the Horizon.
