In the interests of experimentation I made this second card for Carla's super-fun WTUI challenge which you will find HERE - and I also made it with the current ODBD Dots or Dashes challenge in mind.
For the base layer, I did a wrinkle free distress and then ramped it up a bit with some Brushos - using the leftovers to dye the seam binding to match. I embossed this when it was dry and sponged the edges. Wrapped the binding around and added some French Knots (dots).
The leaves were also done with Brushos - I misted some watercolour paper, sprinkled the powders on and misted again. Stamped the leaves when dry and cut them out.
The sentiment was stamped on Cryogen White and embossed with cinnamon ep - I found I needed to use a little more than two-thirds ep to cinnamon to get some shine from it. I used the same ep on the cups of the acorns, after colouring them with Inktense pencils.
The sentiment was cut with a Spellbinders label and I added more dots with pencil. The sentiment and most of the leaves are popped up on foam tape.

Beautiful fall card. I love the muted colors and patterns from the Brushos on both your leaf spray and embossed bg. Cinnamon is and fall are the perfect combination and so is your card. Thanks for another marvelous sample.

I really love how this BG turned out and those leaves are so stunning. I bet this card smells amazing too. I am going to have to try some more scents for more cards.

Wow, Sabrina, the leaf background is striking! The cut leaves and acorns are beautiful, and I love the dyed seam binding! The cinnamon must smell great on the card! Very creative!

Oh Sabrina this is absolutely gorgeous! Love that background and the embossing makes it look spectacular. You certainly are an 'expert' in fussy cutting! Great card.

Just like your other card, I truly thought I had commented on this fabulous card!! I love the rich Autumn colours and the wrinkle free brusho work. I love the texture too - what a bonus that it smells good!!
