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.

Golly, Sabrina, this Autumnal beauty is out of this world!! Love how you have the brushos adding to the distress inks for a fabulous color BG, even before you did the dry embossing!! Dyeing your seam binding with the "leftover" inks and then your adding cinnamon EP blew me away - bet this one smells good enough to EAT!! Well done!!
