I realize there's nothing particularly fall-like about this card, these are just the colours I happened to go with. :) For the flower panel, I used a layered paper-piecing technique as demonstrated by Shari Carroll in the Stretch Your Stamps 2 online card class. I started by stamping the image on the white panel and colouring the leaves and small buds. Next, I stamped the image again, this time cutting out the centre floral section. There were a few more leaves to colour, and the flowers to paper-piece. Next, I stamped on the patterned paper then cut out just the two main flowers. After adding a little dimension with a stylus, they were adhered. Finally, the one flower was stamped, cut out, shaped, and added with a few layered glue dots to lift it off the page just a little. Stickles were added to the centre of the flowers. Some patterned papers and a simple sentiment finish the card.
Thanks for stopping by!

LOVE. These colours are just so perfect together - and I love the patterned papers. And that HELLO. And the beautiful floral spray. Yep, this card makes me smile :)
These colours are very pretty; I'm glad you chose them. The paper piecing is very effective and so clever. I don't think I have paper pieced anything ever.
Have a good week,

I really like the colors you've chosen, even if they don't scream fall. :)
Well the colors match my Fall colors way down here. Greens and yellows...love this card. The floral piece is gorgeous. Lot of time spent putting this one together and it shows!
