Leaves of all Kinds on Cards Before The Snow Flies

Our fall color here in central Wisconsin has come and gone but we did have brilliant color for a few short weeks. I love the leaves in fall and had some new products sitting here so I quickly designed a few cards with them before winter comes. Brutus Monroe shared some gorgeous skeleton leaves in a kit for a weekend of classes and I used three of the rub-on transfers for this card. The background was created in a class I took at Let's Create in Wisconsin Rapids with Ranger Mica Sprays. I added some texture with spattered black paint to complete the card. 

The rub-on transfers are no longer available, but the stamps, stencils, dies and new vellum leaves are still available here at Brutus Monroe. The background of this card was again created with Mica Sprays and IRL is more navy than purple as the photo looks. I stamped the leaves and cut them out and added some texture with a fun stencil from Hero Arts.

I also had a new leaves stencil set from Lawn Fawn I needed to use before the snow flies so I created the background here with red and yellow inks. The leaves and sentiment were stamped and die cut with the Skeleton Leaves from Brutus Monroe. 

Of course leaves are green for a longer time that the fall colors are, so I used  two shades of green on this background with the Lawn Fawn Fall Leaves Background layered stencils. The leaves were punched out of another Distress Mica Spray piece.
