I think these are just wonderful fall colors. I did end up replacing the Always Artichoke for Soft Suede because it looked more brown on my monitor! This worked out perfect with the theme over at The Paper Players:
One of my favorite fall sets of all time is French Foliage, so I started with that and stamped the leaves in a variety of the colors. The splatter image is SOOO versatile and gets a lot of use at my house on other cards (see my post from Tuesday for another example!), but it was also perfect for this card.
I don't use the XL tag punch nearly enough and it fit my sentiment wonderfully. I offset it with another tag to give it the look of a mat. My leaves at the top are handcut and folded for dimenstion. I love fussy cutting. I think it adds so much to a card! Most of my customers want a punch for everything though, so I try to avoid it at workshops and stamp camps! Since this was my own personal project, I was happy to get to do it. :)

Very pretty...I don't use my tag punch much either, but now that I know that sentiment fits so nicely, I might have to try this too! Thanks for playing at the Paper Players this week!
