Autumn leaves

Good Morning everyone

Today is 3 autumnal cards using lisa horton strip die & lots of autumnal papers 

5x7" Ivory card base.   I first die cut lots of autumnal papers, gold satin card and chocolate glitter card with the strip frame die.  I then die cut lots of little leaves too.   I took the gold satin frame and attached to scrap cardstock to give it a back so that i could glue all the little pieces to - I then got arranging all the little strips and paper piecing them into the frame.  

I then matted the panel onto chocolate glitter card (id cut out the middle from the mat layer so as not to waste the lovely cardstock).  From all the little off cuts left over of gold satin, chocolate glitter and patterned paper i made 2 little pieces that i attached to the left and right of the card base and then my main panel over the top.  

Sentiment from an old magazine stamped in brown onto a light patterned paper, die cut into a square and attached to the middle.  Lots of little leaves attached with glue gel to finish.

Sentiment reads 'Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower'

Version 2, I had enough strips cut to make another 2 cards, i used the chocolate glitter frame on this one and matted onto the gold satin

and version 3 -  I used the same ivory cardstock used for the base card for this frame, matted onto a lovely autumnal paper.  This time I used a bigger sentiment  so dug out this old Joycrafts leaf frame die, i die cut it twice, once from the ivory which i stamped the sentiment onto and once from the gold satin cardstock and adhered both to the middle of the frame.

Sentiment reads 'every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree'
