CATCH THE FALLING LEAVES - TIOT #35

This week Suzanne challenged us with a sketch. It was a wonderful sketch to work with. This is Autumn, another release from the Victoria Case Hearts and Hugs Collections - Series #2 for SCACD. I love these images. Their faces and smile bring a smile to my face.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Whimsy Stamps Challenge - Sew, sew, sew

Paper Blooms Challenge - Bling

Lili of the Valley Challenge - Use colors green, brown and orange

I chose the new CTMH paper DP for this card It worked so well with the image. Autumn is heat embossed and colored with Copics. The leaves have crystal effects to give them a shine. Couldn't do without the stickles (hehe), it is applied to her hat, scarf, the edges of her sweater, and the pom pom on her boots. I did cut out two extra leaves and put one in her hand and one on the sentiment. The metal hardware on the sentiment is also CTMH. The buttons are from my stash and then I added the glitter dots. Isn't this leaf ribbon cool? I also bought some in green and gold.

The paper is so pretty I didn't have to do much to the inside.

Thank you for looking and please leave me a comment.

Don't forget to go to the Follow Your Heart blog and check out the other DT samples.

Also, check out Susana's store - she has some really good stuff that we can all us. SCACD is now carrying a new product called Inspirations Paint. I haven't had the chance to use it yet, but I believe it is supposed to have more shimmer than shimmerez.
