I used white tissue paper for my card. You can't see the white tissue paper, that is because I thought white would be too boring. So I used ink spray smash technique to stain the tissue paper blues and purples and green. I was wanting to make a sky to go behind my leaves, but I messed up a corner of the tissue paper as I was gluing it down. So I decide to salvage what I could and that was 4 little squares. I thought it could look like a quilt or a stained glass window. But leaves on a quilt didn't make much sense to me, so I made my card a window. I used gold pen to make it look the leading in the stained glass window. I then added a scripture panel. I wasn't sure at first how to place the leaves. I didn't want them all in a pile but I wanted some continuity. I like how they ended up in a swag. You can laugh if you want, I asked each leaf where it wanted to go and it told me. My cards often "talk" to me. I am giving this easel card to my friend Cheryl who had a birthday this week. I water colored the leaves after I printed them. I like working with digital images, because you can get them exactly the size you want them. Here is where you can find the leaves. Fall is in the Air Outline set

Aha! Your secret is out - talking to the elements of your creations! I usually just end up cussing mine, LOL! Maybe I should switch to your method, although I doubt I could ever come with such gorgeous cards.
Your smashed tissue is beautiful!
