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'!

A little about World Card Making Day...
WORLD CARD MAKING DAY
World Card Making Day began in 2006 as National Card Making Day founded by Paper Crafts magazine, and was so popular, it is now a worldwide event.
Celebrating its eighth year in 2013, World Card Making Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October. It's a day for the card-making community -- hobbyists, retailers, and manufacturers -- to unite and celebrate the connection and creativity that is the heart of card making.
