Fall Birthday

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Looks Like Fall

Here is my card for your inspiration:
For this fall card (which is my husband's birthday card), I pulled out an old set from Papertrey Ink and inked up the leaves in varying colors of ink to get the fall look.  The white cardstock was already cut and was in my bits and pieces stash.  I stamped some falling leaves on a kraft panel, roughed up the edges and inked around them with some Antique Linen Oxide ink.  I tied some twine around the based panels and added a small die cut leaf.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created. 

Supplies:
Stamps: PaperTrey Ink "Through the Trees" and MFT "Essential Sentiments"
Dies: MFT tiny leaves; STAMPlorations "Stitched Rectangles
