I spent some time today making a lot of autumnal leaves, some of which I've used to make this thank you card.

To make this card I used:
C6 white matt card blank
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics' die
Clearly Besotted 'Fall Flowers' stamps and coordinating dies
Clearly Besotted 'Fancy Saying' stamps
Versafine Crimson Red, Smoky Grey, Toffee & Vintage Sepia
Distress Ink Ripe Persimmon
Snippets of white hammer card
I stamped the leaf outlines onto snippets of white hammer card - stamping them several times in various shades of brown, red and orange inks. The leaves were cut with the coordinating dies and set aside. I then used the largest die to emboss an oval in the front of the card blank. I placed the card into my MISTI and stamped the sentiment with dark and light brown ink to give the same shades as the leaves. I attached the small leaves directly onto the front of the card and then attached the large leaf with a foam pad.
I am entering the following challenges:

These leaves are so pretty Kath and I love your oval die dry embossed in the centre of the card and the leaves place around it at one side and a sweet little extra one beneath the lovely sentiment..a brilliant CAS card. x
