Ah, Shirley (wannabcre8itve) and Janelle (dizzymommie), you've extended my favorite season today with your challenges, Fall for the F4A and a Royal Garden for the MIX'es 300th. Congratulations on reaching 300! These were easy to combine in my 'story line:buried in leaves'.
I used a favorite solid image stamp of which sadly, I've lost track of the maker. It is an asymmetrical tree trunk with the branches visible. If you tilt it in just the right way, you can see the tiny leaves. I stamped it with VersaMark directly to a piece of Alcohol Ink paper I had created recently. I embossed it with clear ep. And then colored it with the TH 'Gathering Twigs' and the white gel pen to spotlight some of the leaves. I used a die cut to make a place for the lovely sentiment.
Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.

The band at the top is Washi tape and Vintage German scrap. I used Cosmo Cricket letter stickers to spell out time. And the Kokomo leaf. Again stamped on the Alcohol Ink paper, embossed and fussy cut.
My Mix300: Royal Garden is the Fall Garden where all the trees show up dressed in the seasons brightest color. And F4A...it's all FALL.
Thanks for stopping by. If I disappear from the galleries, send out a search party...I just might be buried in leaves....

A wonderful layout and I agree completely, fall is my favorite season.I love the rich colors, the cool air, the gathering of crops and watching the animals gather their food for the up coming winter. And then of course, there is that wonderful sense of gratitude and thanksgiving that falls this season for all that the Lord has blessed us with during the other seasons. Love this beautiful card and that last, beautiful smile of the year.
