Autumn Leaves

Well, I nearly forgot that I started a Tag for  Sunday Stampers Challenge 229  on Monday night, so to-day I got it finished.  I started out with a beautiful leaf embossing folder and distressed it all with beautiful shades of autumn. I used the die cut gate and leaves and coloured them also with Distress inks. The sentiment and acorns are from a stamp set by Sheena Douglas.  I finished it off with a silk bow and used the inks again to colour the ribbon.   I do enjoy the colours on the trees at this time of year, but most of the leaves are in piles in the garden and need constant clearing.
 I am also entering my tag into Crafting for all Seasons Challenge "Falling Leaves"   Hugs Rita xxx

I just love the colours that you used for this! And the leaves are stunning!
(mayby you have to get out, pull up a hole lot of leaves and throw them in the air as I saw one of the neigbours children do! It's almost magic how many shades of red, green, yellow and brown you can see then....) Hugs, Gerrina
