Fall Into Autumn

Happy Saturday, my friends!

Today I'm sharing an extra "just for fun" card.

This is made using one of the free digital images from Gecko Galz.
I printed it and then cut it out with my Cricut Explore Air. 
I colored it, and then backed it with a dark night sky colored paper, cut in a circle.


It's such a great tree!
I have a number of leaf punches but they were all too big.
So I decided this heart punch would make great little leaves.
I punched them out in several Fall colors.
I folded and curled them, and adhered them all in place.
Finally, I mounted it on a round card base.


Here's a closer look at all the little heart leaves.


Materials Used:
Papers: Recollections - Cardstock;
Image: Gecko Galz Freebie;
Color: Spectrum Noir Markers;
Cut: Cricut Explore Air;
Die: WRMK - Nesting Circles;
Punch: Martha Stewart - Hearts.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Since this is an Fall themed post, I thought I would share a peek of our Fall with you.

My Back yard on October 5th:



The snow was so wet and heavy that it completely flattened our huge lilac hedge.


The snow is all gone now...and it looks more Fall-ish.
I'm sure it will be back very soon! :o)

How fabulous to be able to cut out the image with your super machine Nancy ! The hearts make perfect little leaves! I can't believe
you've had so much snow already, but the trees look beautiful. I'm sure you'll have plenty more snow !

Great card Nancy and so clever to use the hearts for leaves. Saw this on FB and had to pop by and tell you how pretty it is with those bold colours.
Glad our snow is gone too... am not ready for winter yet.
