I made the patterned paper with marker smash technique. I then stamped random leaves on it. I googled the Chinese symbol for AUTUMN. I printed it from my computer. I stamped over it with my versamark ink. I used UTEE to emboss it. I used my circle punch to punch it out. I went around the edges with a gold marker and took a cotton ball with several fall colors of chalk and rubbed over the utee. I then veramarked it again and again added utee. I think it made a really neat little medallion. I added piercing and brads to finish the card. Let me know what you think.

I really like the impressionistic bg, mariLynn. The Chinese (?) character really adds to the whole! I love the yellows!
