Autumn Leaves

I love Autumn. I love the way the trees change colour and the nights get darker but it's still not cold. I also love the colours - I seem to have a lot of Autumn coloured clothes in russet, burgundy and burnt orange. We have wonderful trees where I work in Durham - they have started to change colour and I could sit and look at them all day...


Today's card incorporates the lovely colours and shapes but remains clean and simple. The leaves are die cut and coloured with promarkers then mounted on squares. A simple greeting finishes off the card. I did toy with a coloured gem each square but then I just thought, 'stop'! Less is certainly more on this card.
I've entered this card into the following challenges

    I love your photo Sharon with its contrast between those beautiful trees and the road. Your card is a study in CAS - those intricate die cut leaves look fantastic in autumn colours and mounted on the squares. Vicky x

    Really striking. I think you were right not to add gems, this card is perfect without them
