Autumnal Birthday

I've made this card with more oddments from my 'I'll use it one day' drawer.  The leaves, sentiment and even the embosed card blank were all in the drawer.

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white matt card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Clearly Besotted 'Fall Flowers' stamps and coordinating dies
     Uniko 'Simply Said Blocks' sentiment stamp
     Versafine Crimson Red, Smoky Grey, Toffee & Vintage Sepia
     Snippets of white hammer and white matt card

The leaves had been stamped onto snippets of white hammer card - stamped several times in various shades of brown, red and orange inks - before being cut with the coordinating dies. The sentiment had been stamped with brown ink onto white matt card before being trimmed.  The circle die had been used to emboss a circle in the centre of the card blank.  To assemble the card I attached two small leaves around the top of the embossed circle with the large leaf on top.  The sentiment was attached across the lower edge of the circle with the last remaning leaf underneath it.

I am entering the following challenges:
