Sorry I have been MIA for a little bit... I've been working on some upcoming blog hop projects and some design team projects too... lots of wonderful projects coming soon!
I love the simplicity of this card. It's an A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") card base. The yellow base is Bazzill card stock, the black is generic card stock and the patterned paper is from DCWV's new Halloween and Fall Stack.
These leaves are cut from A Child's Year. I cut them at 1 1/2", inked them with a finger dauber and burnt orange ink and added them to the card front with pop dots. I love how the inking really brings out the veins.
Here you can see the Scrappy Mom's Stamped sentiment, the dark orange brads, and a hint of the Pearl Glimmer Mist I sprayed on the patterned paper.
The inside is decorated with scraps of the card front, it even got an extra leaf.
Of course I had to add some while gel pen doodling. I've been skipping the gel pen stitching lately and am happy that it made it's way onto this sweet card.

Beautiful fall card! Great placement of all the elements on the front and I love how you did the inisde to match!
Very very pretty card!
I do think the inking of the leaves makes it - more realistic, more natural? Well, just makes it!

Like the Maple Leaf Autumn card. Especially like the white pen doodling edging. Did not know that there was a Maple Leaf on A Child's Year Cricut cartridge.
