Pssst! Sheer Shimmer Spritz....

The colors this year were phenomenal in our area! Above is a card that I made to pay tribute to the beauty that fluttered from the trees into piles on the ground that are now turning brown.

The background was stamped with VersaFine Vintage Sepia and used a River City Rubber leaf collage. Colors from Memento (Rhubarb Stalk, Terra Cotta, and Bamboo Leaves) were added with an Ink Sweeper. The focal point leaf is a stamp by JudiKins, and I used Memento Terra Cotta with Rhubarb Stalk Dew Drops to add the color. After stamping, I cut out the leaf. Next I used Pssst! Sheer Shimmer Spritz (Gold) to add a hint of gold to the back ground, the torn green piece of cardstock and the stamped leaf. Using a bullet point Fantastix, I scuffed on some additional Memento Rhubarb Stalk around the outside edges of the leaf to hide the scissor cut-marks. To finish, I stamped "Ahh..Autumn" (by Simply Stamped), tied on a few pieces of hemp twine and mounted it with foam mounting squares. Done!

PS - if you'd like to see the shimmer results a little better, zoom in or enlarge the card. Thanks for looking!
