The title means nothing, I just wanted to be my usual witty self. This is for today's colors (poppy parade, crushed curry and pumpkin pie), Sunday's FS and yesterday's CAS (fall). This is the card I CASEd for Sunday's FS. Laura has a pretty gallery and she was so kind to CASE me when I was FS, I wanted to return the favor. This is her newest card, by the way.

I created my background with AI, diluted with alcohol in a little cup, poured on my Graphix plastic and blown around with the Rocket Air, working to keep the three colors visible and trying to get a wispy look. Then I put a stencil on top and sprayed alcohol lightly. Took it off immediately and if you look closely, you can see the spots and the stencil, which was an arrow design.
The focal point is a precut wooden leaf and leaf charm I ordered from Etsy, brushed with the candied apple ink. I kept everything else white or vanilla so the background and center are the stars.

Ooo... yeah, you picked a great one to CASE and to meet all of your challenges. This looks fantastic with all of your cool elements. For some reason when I first read your title, it came out in my head, "Wood you Be-Leaf me?" I like your witty self!

This is such a striking card Jean and totally reminds me of Fall in that all the leaves on the ground sort of blend together after a bit, yet retain their shape too (if this makes any sense), and this glorious bg really reminds me of that. I saw the arrows in the bg immediately and was wondering how you did that. I have never used wooden elements on a card before, but now that I see how you are using them, I think I can do this. What a gorgeous card this is for all the challenges Jean! ~Karen.
