For Anna's The Colour Red MIX challenge. I was thankful for an early post, as these days if I don't get a start before work, it may never happen.
So, I stamped my leaves twice; once in blue, and brushed chalk over them. Once in red, which I embossed with clear EP. I used Gelatos and a baby-wipe on these and brought them into work for the fussy-cutting stage. One of the guys in work was teasing me about cheating - he thought I was cutting pre-coloured leaves out of an old card and told me I should have painted them myself, LOL. Then he realised I had ;-).
Back home, I trimmed the blue panel down and edged it with a black Sharpie, then added the sentiment (embossed with clear EP) and arranged the leaves after giving them a dusting of metallic shimmer with Craft-T rub-ons. Some are popped up on foam. If I'd had gold sequins in more than one (large) size I would have tried adding a few, as it was I settled for little dots of gold Stickles under all the falling leaves.
