I'd intended to use some really lovely autumnal colours I'd seen on a mat over the summer for this card but I couldn't find the right shades for it so went back to the drawing board.
I've been reading books about the history of London and the old pea souper fogs get mentioned a bit and there is a grey inkpad called London fog so I ended up going with grey and got with a more muted card than I'd intended! It felt a bit sombre but then I hit on the idea of added gems, sequins AND pearls and now it gleams!

Sigh - that's about the colour of the sky outside my window just now, and I don't know about you but it started off so bright and sunny today! That's a beautifully elegant looking leaf card, Di - love the grey and bling.

Oh, what a wonderful take on the autumn leaves idea! The whole play on "London fog" is so creative! I like how you anchored the leaves on a circle, and yes the bling makes the design come alive. TYFS!

I think the gems were the perfect touch, makes it feel like early morning dew drops. Fabulous card! TFS :0)
