Now here is my project, it is a card to celebrate Fall.


I used a Couture Creations embossing folder, "Hyper Magical", and embossed a light green piece of cardstock. Then embossed several other pieces of Fall colored cardstock and cut out the leaves. I also used a green marker to highlight the other areas. Then glued the leaves on the light green. I used gold ink on the entire image and also added Couture Creations gold gemstones in the little circles.



So, get hoppin'!
