I decided that I skipped autumn completely with my last two cards! Here is a double a little closer to the present... or as that present for Christmas! Okay... really corny, I know! LOL!
I used my white gel pens for outlining the image of this negative image stamp from SU and faux stitching all around! Botanical Garden. But first, I inked it from a Kalaidacolor ink pad. This layer has Marigold Morning, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie. Layer #2 has the same cardstock papers. Layer #3 is made by 3 stripes of SU! ribbon. (These are actually straight IRL, not sloping down on the right as they appear in this photo!) The card is Chocolate Chip cardstock.
The brads, eyelets and ovals with a drawn by hand leaf finish this card off. I hope this card reminds you of crisp mornings and the crackle of fallen leaves under your feet! In this dream, someone else rakes the leaves!!! LOL! TFL!!! ~Chrysi~

Ooh - some fun ideas to tuck away into my brain (yeah, right - it's too full, so I saved this to my faves)! Love the leaves on the ends of the strips, the ribbon as the strips, and the faux stitching really adds a lot to the layered ovals for your sentiment. Thanks for sharing!
