Needing a thankyou card for a family that blessed us and we want to bless back. Using Julee Tilman's mojo monday sketch this week. I kept the bg fairly neutral to keep the leaves prominent. I traced around my dies on xpress white and coloured them with multiple copics, then cut out, touched up and distress stained the edges. Finished up with SU itty bitty background splatter. The amazing sentiment is from a free until October 15 digi pack designed by Verve's super talented and generous Julee Tilman. It's called Latte Love and is available at the Verve shop.

Michele, this is a GORGEOUS autumn card. Your leaves looked like you picked them from the ground where they had fallen....so realistic and SO SO beautifully done. Love the soft bg of the beige/white gingham...gives a warm, homey touch.

This is beautiful Michelle, I love the way you kept the background beautiful but subtle so the sentiments and leaves would stand out with those gorgeous, rich Autumn colours :O)

Michelle, this is GLORIOUS!!! I LOVE your leaves!!! I made some fall leaves for the first time on Saturday night and put them onto a card on Sunday for a friend's birthday (have yet to upload). I love the fall colors and have wanted to make leaves for a long time and have never gotten around to trying. Mine were made in a completely different way, and I love it that we use such different techniques, the wonder and beauty of this crafting is diversity. Your leaves are just beauty to behold like they are in nature. What a neat combination, copics and distress inks! Isn't this one of the best times of the year to make cards with all of these colors! I'm planning to make a number of leaf cards to get caught up on some thank you notes and to make a few cards just to have on hand--for a change.
HAD to put this in my favorites, and had I been blessed to see this card before, yours would have absolutely been in my list of favorites. Stunning artistry, I love your style!!! What a pleasure to see this!!!
