I created this card with the help of Shelly, aka mcschmidty. This was a card kit that she shared with me; I did part of it a few weeks ago and finished it today. I don't remember all the materials used so I had to guess a bit. What I added were the little leaves, used to cover up a smudge of ink (!), cut out of metallic cs, copper frame, some sponging at the bottom of the main image and the LP.
Thanks for the challenge, Lisa. I never miss an opportunity to add some LP or Nuvo Drops or Stickles...my favorites!

Oh Jean - this is perfection! I love what you've done here - the perfect amount of "oomph" without taking it over the edge. Delightful through and through, from the warm colors to the layering to the distressing you achieved on the sentiment's panel. LOVELY!

Really gorgeous fall card. I know what you mean about starting a card putting it aside then pulling it out and forgetting all the steps...oh how I have done that. But this card really is a gorgeous work of fall art.
Oh, Jean, this is great! As I read your description, I had to laugh at you covered up an ink smudge! I think my cards are almost always made the way they are to cover up something like that! LOL. And you love adding stickles and drops? I usually end up messing up my card when I add them. Ugh!
Oh, BTW, this card is a lovely take on Shelly’s kit.I. Perfect ink blending.

Yep, I thought immediately that this WT was right up your alley. That background (sponged?) is beautiful, and I like the dimensional framing of the focal image.
