French Foliage - Getting Ready for Fall

Hello my friends.

With the beginning of fall, we tend to put away the summer clothes, pull out the warm sweaters and anticipate the wonderful colours that only fall can bring.  I love this time of year - it always seems like a time of new beginnings and beauty everywhere.  I wanted to create a card that reflected a change in the seasons and I came up with this:



The stamped leaf image is from the "French Foliage" stamp set (page 115) and instead of using ink to stamp the leaf, I used Stampin' Up Write Markers (page 202) which gives me the freedom of mixing different colours and making the leaves look more authentic.  I really like the way it turned out.  I made this card for a girlfriend that I have known since Jr. Kindergarten and we just recently hooked up again on Facebook.  Just a little something to show that I have been thinking of her.  What can YOU create to reflect the time of the season?
