Shannon has a very inspiring gallery and there was a lot to choose from. I finally picked Color Silhouettes to case. I changed the colors, the images and the orientation of the layout. I kept the basic layout and the repetitive image stamping in different colors. I also added a sentiment because I needed something in that blank corner.
I stamped the fall tree (Inkadinkado) 4 times w/ different colors of the chalk inks, punched the lower border and sponged a little green ink around the edges. I used the curve of the bottom to figure out where the leaves would hit and cut the bottom of the rust panel so that only the top leaves would show the rust. Then I attached a mustard layer and the bottom row of leaves show the mustard. I used a border folder around the edges of the g. green layer to get the dots.
I stamped the leaf spray on the lower right of the mustard panel then used the CB leaf folder. I attached my image on top w/ thin foam tape. I stamped the leaf from the same set onto v.vanilla using a combo of the chalk inks and cut it out.
The sentiment (Inka Stamps) was stamped onto mustard, then an oval frame stamped around it and a shaped frame was stamped on the g, green and layered underneath (both frames are Inkadinkado, but different sets.) I added a little folded ribbon beneath the sentiment. The dots were added w/ a rust glaze pen. TFL

What a WOW card we have here! I love the different colored stamped trees. Great leaf border punch, and then to go the extra mile to line up the panel so only the top leaves showed the rust color...WOW! So much more that you did so I'll just say that this is one dynamite card! Marvelous job done here! TFS :0)
