A Fallen Leaf....

Happy Tuesday Friends!! I hope you are having a great beginning to your week!! Fall is really beginning with the changing colors of the leaves and the cooler nights.

Today I am popping in to share a card I made for this week's Shining the Light challenge.

This week's challenge is: Let us see your Fall Leaves!! They must be stamped or die cut, not just on your designer paper.

For my creation I used the new Autumn Blessings and Leaves background stamps from ODBD.

Card Recipe:

ODBD Stamps used: Autumn Blessings, Leaves Background

Dies: Spellbinders Gold Decorative Labels 4 die, Labels 4

Other accessories: Gold cording, gold embossing powder, pearls
