Autumn Colors

 I love to make fall cards.  I have a thing for leaves and once fall rolls around I want to make lots of cards.  Friends and family can count on receiving a fall card.

This card is from a challenge in a group I am in.  One of my fellow cardmakers had leftover paper so sent it to a few of us to make cards.  The paper she sent was the green, brown and orange card stock and she wrote us a little note on the leaf.

I turned the leaf over because I wanted to use it in my design.  I took out a stencil and using distress oxide inks added the dots on the leaf.  I then inked the edge of the leaf with a brown ink.  I found a piece of patterned paper that had the same colors as my card stock.  I die cut the hugs from the orange card stock.

It has been great fun seeing how everyone used these papers.

I am entering this card in the current challenge at Try it on Tuesday where the challenge is autumn colors.  

Thanks for stopping by.
