DT 179 - Thankful Leaf Cluster

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 179!

The small graphic is below. Please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 


We are pairing with The Inspiration Station Challenge and they have a photo for us. 

I was inspired by the leaves, the colours and the woodgrain in the inspiration photo. There are several layers on my card design - at least 8, if not more.

I began by inking the card base from yellow to red along the edges. The leaves were die cut from white, gold and gold holographic cardstock and the white pieces were inked with Distress Oxide inks. I splattered gold paint on the top half of the card front and arranged the leaves just above a sentiment strip. Some twine was added across the card and I tied a bow at the side. A few gold gems were also placed around the card to finish it off. 

Come and join us at Double Trouble and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

I am also linking up my card with the challenge at The Inspiration Station.

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

Alyson

Your colors are bright and bold but still have such a beautiful fall feel to them, and I like the way you inked the border to match.

What a gorgeous autumn card, Altyson. I love the rich, saturated colors you have chosen and they are perfect on the wood background.
