Falling Leaves

Fall is upon us. We are beginning to get those cool nights, rainy days that make the leaves turn color.
Time to make those Thanksgiving cards.

I used 2 designer papers form SU's Serene Scenery paper pack on a Kraft card base. The vertical strip was run through big shot with the Woodlands folder. I used a q-tip and Chocolate Chip ink to stain the trees so they would stand out. Then stamped falling leaves from the Holiday Home set. I don't have any of the SU leave and die sets so I used some old leaf stamps in Pumpkin Pie, Delightful Daffodil, and Real Red and then fussy cut them. Running a coordinating marker around the edges hides any white edge still showing. I often do that with die cuts too. The sentiment banner was done on the computer and sponged on the edges with Baked Brown Sugar. Inside, I stamped more of the falling leaves around a sentiment I did on the computer.
I used the sketch from Pals Paper Arts
