I've got autumn on my mind. It's definitely my favorite season. We've had a hot summer, so I am dreaming of what is to come!
Here's a simple card with a feel of fall, featuring a pretty copper maple leaf accent (from Stampin' Up!). I paired it with a marbled handmade paper scrap sample that came with an envelope order loooong ago. There's a bold sentiment from Simon Says Stamp, and a little bit of 'distressing' with a stamp in the background. At first, I put a yellow strip of cardstock above the marbled paper, and it did not look right. So I took a Krylon 24kt Gold Pen and wiped it down. It's a shame you can't see the metallic gleam of that, and of the leaf.

That copper leaf is so pretty! This is a wonderful autumn card, Colleen!
I thought your cardstock strip was ribbon. The gold really does make a difference! A lovely autumn card, Colleen. It's my favorite season, too, even though we don't have hot summers here on the OR coast. In autumn the wind dies down and everything is still and quiet. I do love it. Too bad it doesn't last as long as the spring/summer stretch.
Super pretty card for fall, Colleen! We did not have a very warm spring or summer-ish summer and although I like fall, I confess to not looking as forward to it as I usually do. I feel as if I've had no summer at all.
Such a pretty copper leaf, Colleen! I love the detail and the pretty marbled paper! I'm looking forward to Fall too!
