Falling leaves

Welcome to today's card made for the weekly challenge with the team on Crazy 4 Challenges.

During the fall and spring seasons, leaves are all around us. In the fall they are falling, colorful, and becoming a carpet on the ground. In the spring, the new leaves are sprouting from the trees. Make a card in which the only images are leaves. It does not have to be in autumn colors.



I decided to use the Catherine Pooler stamp set Hello Autumn for my card today. I pull out my old
Ranger - Adirondack ink pads to create the Autumn colours in my leaves. Since it was an Autumn
themed card I wanted a bare tree so I chose the Karen Burniston dies tree pop up and the outdoor scene.

Inside the card I used nature edges to cut the stamped background and glued it in place. I then
positioned the pop-up die in two places so that I could pop up two trees. I placed another tree behind
the others, to give is a bit of a forest look. I the added some leaves that were die cut out of the stamped
card waste pieces.

For the front of my card I just made a simple layout to reflect the inside, using the same stamps and dies. Here is the side view of the pop up trees.
