Fall is coming...

 Good morning crafty friends!

Just a few more days and it will officially be fall, my favorite time of year.  I love the crisp air and changing colors painted by Mother Nature.  To me, it's the best time of year.

The Double D is sharing their newest challenge for the second half of September and the theme is "Fall Leaves".  There's a great mood board to inspire you and a fun prize to one lucky winner chosen by random draw.  You can see the guidelines HERE.

The prize being offered...

I came up with this fall card...
 
Hello FALL
 
I found this piece of patterned paper in my stash and I think it may be remnants of a Basic Grey collection.   Anyway, it worked for the background of this fall themed card.  I matted it twice with orange and kraft cardstock.  The die cut ovals are cut from the cardstock also with the top piece being from another mfg.  I stamped, cut and inked the leaves using distress inks.  The pine cones are inked along the edges too.  The sentiment stamp and die cut are from the same collection as the leaves.  All part of a new set added to my crafty goodness.

Oooh, I remember this paper. I might even still have some of it. It certainly did work perfectly with your fall card. Now you've got me wanting to dig it out. I love how you inked the leaves. Really beautiful, Vicki!

What a pretty card, and great for fall. The layered ovals are the perfect backdrop for your leaves, which are beautifully colored. And that patterned paper just ties everything together. Gorgeous.
