I was digging in my stash and found this background that had been stamped in taken with teal using a wheel, which I'm not sure I even have anymore, and I know that I no longer own the matching stamp set. Seemed like a good idea to use the piece, so I colored it with watercolor pencils and blender pen and built my card around it. The center leaf is from autumn leaf prints, which is one of my favorite leaf sets and gets used a lot. I inked the leaf and then misted it with water before stamping (because my ink pad was quite dry) LOL. I layered it on not quite navy and added some faux piercing. I chose to use some diagonals because they are a bit different and fun. After attaching the center diagonal strip, I lined up the edge of the strip on my paper cutter, so I could get the same angle for the corners, and then attached the piece to a burgundy base. The corner punch is a single punch with two different corners, which layer nicely.

Beautiful corners. I took all my wheels off the wheels and mounted them on cling foam. So now I have a lot of BG stamps that I forget to use. I may even have this one. I love the leaves and in these fun colors it doesn't look fallish.
