Falling Leaves / MOJO Week 105

I decided to try a second pattern using CTMH fall paper along flowers from the Paper Station.

I used gold embossing powder to outline the square, and brads (CTMH) for the flower centers. Two strips of ribbon were used to highlight the 3 lower flowers, and finally I created the scallop look by cutting 1" circles from coordinting (CTMH) cardstock and embellished them with embossing powder and punched fall leaves. The leaves are cut from the same paper as the background.

All paper used in this project is from Close to My Heart. I've used gold embossing powder to frame the tea bag folding square, outline the leaf below it, and add portions of leaves to the 3 lower circles. The leaf has been raised by using a dot of liquid glass underneath it.

A leaf punch was used on the strip with contrasting paper behind it to show a variety of fall leaf colors. A gold ribbon was used to make the strip "pop" a little more.

Glad You're Here!

I'm excited to have found this site, and I look forward to learning from those of you who are skilled in the techniques of card making. I belong to a card club and for over a year we've been challenging one another to be more creative.

I've recently discovered several kinds of paper folding and am learning to incorporate those patterns into my card production. Sometimes the small squares of paper challenge my patience.

So, welcome to my blog and I look forward to learning from you, and I hope you'll find something you can use to help yourself.
