Autumn Leaves

Hi Lovelies...

I've been in a very autumnal mood this week, so I dug out my leaf dies and colours to create this card.  

Firstly I die cut the leaf, then coloured it using Distress Inks and Oxides smooshed onto the card.  Then after it had dried, I splattered it with gold watercolour paint.  I then cut a second leaf but this time from gold mirri card...  and I adhered this second leaf behind the first but just slightly off centre to the first in parts so that the gold shows.

I then die cut two circles - one from white and one slightly larger from gold mirri.  I used an embossing folder on the white to give texture.  I adhered these together - again, so that the gold is only showing a tiny bit around the edge.  I adhered the leaf to the centre of the circle.

Then lastly, I created the background.  I printed a sentiment that I'd created on the PC, then die cut the stitched square.  I added some brown card stock to one side, then added a tiny strip of gold.  I finished by added the circle and leaf.
