If I made it again I would make it longer so that it ended up better fitting a standard C6 envelope.
The card is covered and lined with patterned paper. Leaves are cut from snippets of card, inked (DistressInks) and arranged so they form an arrangement behind the centre circle topper. Circles are layered, and the black one finger-edged with Opal Dust.
A message is written on the left-hand opening panel inside the card.
Here in NZ it's autumn.
Circle diecuts: Spellbinders
Leaves dies: Sizzix

I love Autumn cards. This is beautiful. The leaves are great.
We are setting record high heat for the past 3 days and it's not even spring yet. We are suppose to get some relief next week. Pollen is everywhere so we're hoping for some rain to wash it out of the trees and air for a couple of days. [Bunny]
This is a really pretty card, I love the design with the leaves it's so effective.Thanks for making our challenge at Let's Craft & Create this month, stay safe and good luck Michelle DT x
