This is for the challenge to use Designer Paper. I have been hording this lovely Memory Box paper from a couple of seasons ago. I worked at mirroring the branch but added leaves.(In retrospect, AFTER the leaves were glued on, I felt I should have used smaller leaves but this has to get to Canada so off it will go as is! I got out my alcohol inks yesterday to make some suitable paper for die cutting leaves and I should have worn a body suit for protection as I made quite the mess. But, I made several sheets so I won't be doing that again for awhile!
This card is for my younger brother Michael's birthday. As I have said many times before....male cards are a huge challenge for me!
Thanks for taking the time to look.

WOW - those leaves are stunning - they look so real. When I was a kid we would dip the autumn leaves in wax and they looked just like these. BEAUTIFUL!

This is incredible! Those leaves look so real I had to scroll back up about 4 times to see them! I would have hoarded that DP also. It's so beautiful. Into favorites for sure!

A beautiful and handsome card for a Virgo, Peggy! I love your leaves, they are not too big! Autumn is my favorite season, it's a reawakening of Mother Nature after the hot summer!
