Falling Leaves



Hi All!  While I hate to see summer end, I am ready for less humidity and cooler temps.  So I decided to jumpstart the season by creating this fun card for Fall.  My colored images, sentiment and digi paper are from the Doodle Pantry set called Falling Ants Combo.  I distressed the edges of the main panel with antique vintage and copper inks, then embossed with clear embossing powders.  To embellish the tangerine tango panel, I  layered on some leaves made with MS punches and a Cuttlebug die.  

Challenges:
Ellephantastic Challenge -- August Challenge (add some layers)
Little Red Wagon Challenge #92 -- Put a critter on it

Stay cool and have a great week!
