Looks like it's snowing on these leaves, doesn't it? It was not my intention, but now that I'm writing my post and looking at these pics, that's what stands out for me. I only meant to give a distressed look to the card, but in a soft and subtle way, letting those black and white leaves take center stage.
Back in the fall, at my Stampin' Up! demonstrator's fabulous sale, I picked up Magnificent Maple. I LOVE IT. I mixed it here with Itty Bitty Backgrounds, a sentiment from Inspired By Stamping, and a scattering of sequins. Oh -- the leaf in the back was stamped-off once, so it is not as intense a black as the one in the foreground.
I think this card has a masculine edge, but even I would welcome this!

I love seeing how you treated these leaves, Colleen - so refreshing!
Colleen, I love that white spritzed background, it adds a nice distress to the card and lets the beautiful leaves take center stage. I love this card, too -- although it could definitely be for a guy, I know I'd love it, too!
I think the background is beautiful Colleen! I've always loved white on kraft. The leaves you scored are pretty, another wonderful card!
