This was so fun. I dove into a fall theme with this new SU set. I fussy cut two leaves and sponged them to create some autumn tones. The acorns got sponged with Saffron and Sahara Sand. The base was repeatedly staped with the bg, using my handy Stamp-a-ma-jig to get things lined up. That bg was sponged, spritzed and dotted to make it look like wood. I grounded the leaves with a strip of burlap (luv) and sprinkled a few gems around. The subtle coloring is lost with my poor photography but it's pretty textural IRL. Thanks for a great challenge, Lori.

Oh my this is splendid! Just came back from up north where the leaves are falling and being rained on. Those gems evoke that so nicely. Love your subtle colouring!
