Autumn is just beginning here where I live in PA and it's my favorite time of the year. I love watching the beautiful tree leaves change color and enjoy the cooler, crisp air of the season. Today I made a card with some autumn leaves. I used Spellbinder dies to cut the leaves, sponging them with lots of assorted autumn-colored inks, then covering them with glossy accents and sprinkling on some GinaK glitter for sparkle. I popped them up on foam dots on a SSS Orange Peel piece of card that was die-cut with a GMD scalloped die, then framed it with a larger die cut from white. The background was a random piece of autumn themed paper I got from Tuesday Morning years ago. The sentiment is from SNSS.
I will enter this into the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - make it sparkle
Tuesday Throwdown # 467 - make it sparkle
Craft Rocket Challenge #75 - add sparkle
Dies R Us Challenge #154 -a/g using dies from their store (Spellbinders)
Thanks for stopping by and my wish for all of you is to have a healthy, happy day.

Beautiful Autumn card! I'm so thankful for the cooler weather. Sat out on my porch and did some Crafting yesterday.
Beautiful leaves and love the backing papers.xxx
This is so beautiful, Carol! LOVE the dimension and the interest you achieved to the leaves with the glossy accents plus glitter! Wow! You have done so well framing them! And the background paper is so lovely!
Big hugs across the miles!!
Ooh awesome job on the leaves, they look all crispy with frost and perfect choice of leaves. That big pop of orange really says Autumn. Autumn isn't quite as beautiful here as it is in the US, maybe it's just my perception but I do think you do Fall so much better and Halloween for sure :) x
Not Fall here in Florida still 80+ So we need to see cards like yours for color and fallen leaves ...............Lis
Beautiful card, Carol! Just love the pretty paper and those gorgeous shimmery leaves! Fall is definitely here so get out and enjoy it! I love sitting out in the afternoon and looking at the leaves change! Makes my heart happy! TFS Hope you & Butch are enjoying the cooler weather! Hugs~

I agree with Cotnob, Carol, I love the frosty leaves, such a beautiful card. I have experienced Fall in PA, back in 1976, we went to Cooks Forest, I wonder if you know it?
