And here is the card I created:
This die cut leaf has been in my bits and pieces stash for a couple years just waiting for the right time to be used. The smaller die cut circle was also in the stash. It feels good to get back to using some of that stash instead of just adding to it! Since the leaf was a dark gray, I went with a Fall paper pack that was a little less traditional in color; such pretty papers in this one. I blended some Antique Linen Distress Ink around the outside of the white circles so they wouldn't stand out so much--they were bright! I also blended some dark gray ink around the edges of the leaf after stamping the music background with the same ink, then I added just a touch of Soot Distress Oxide Ink around just the very edges. The pattern papers were all scraps as well as the red circles and border.

I love the beautiful patterned papers you used on this pretty fall card, Heather! The ink blending around your die cuts really sets them off! Lovely card!
Love your scraps turned into a beautiful card - very pretty fall card - and isn't it funny that we probably all have usable stuff in our stash.
