Happy Fall

Ahh.....fall.  I just love this time a year!  I never get tired of making fall-themed cards.  There is just something about fall images and colors that speaks to me.

For this card, I stamped the Maple Branch (D1099) onto cream cardstock using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and colored the leaves with my Light Reddish Yellow (YR31) and Yellow Ochre (YR23) Copic Markers.  I then added a little extra shading with my Warm Gray #3 marker around the branches.  In keeping with my current "use up my scraps" mode, I layered pieces of Jack-O-Lantern, Vanilla Bean, and Gourd cardstock as well as some leaves I punched out of leftover Twilight paper.  Here is a close up of one of the leaves:

 

I wanted to include a close-up so that you could see that I edged my leaf with some brown ink and then drew some veins onto the patterned paper using a fine detail brown pen.

To finish the card, I added a brown satin ribbon and stamped Happy Fall (B946) using Dark Brown Colorbox Chalk ink.

Pretty card and I like the edging on the leaves.
