Autumn Leaves

The peak season for fall leaves came and went extremely fast this year in the midwest.  On the day of my  October 16th stamp camp,  the trees in woods overlooking my deck were stunning.  The maple tree in my side yard was absolutely exquisite.  A week later, every leaf was gone leaving the branches bare.   This card is a beautiful representation of fall leaves.  I initially made it for a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator swap held in September and repeated the project at stamp camp.  The versatile Woodgrain Embossing Folder and sponging nearly brings these leaves to life—well maybe silk leaves.
