I was looking through a magazine and saw the idea to do a monochromatic background with die cuts which is what inspired this card.  The problems was figuring out all the other elements.  I sponged ,sprayed , made a mess, and it was fun!  

Here's a closeup of the leaves.  I hope you can see some of the shimmer from the shimmer paint and Smooch Spritz I used.

Stamps: Day of Gratitude, Gently Falling
Ink: Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, More Mustard, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Riding Hood Red
Paper: Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Orchard Harvest DSP,First Edition DSP

Today is one of those perfect fall days.  We have bright blue skies, a little crispness to the air, and leaves beginning to change colors, it doesn't get much better.  Hope your day is a fabulous one and thank you for stopping by!
