I was unable to hook up with the original post that Wendy published because our area was hit by a big wind storm and it knocked out all the power and Internet services. We were down for 3 days, but I'm happy to be here now catching up and glad to be posting my card.
To create this card using RI Stamps #5127-K "Maple Leaf Sil" and #3214-G "Thanksgiving Blessings", I first stamped the leaves on a white cs panel with various fall colors of Distress Oxide Inks, layering each color. I then fussy cut each leaf out leaving a tiny white border around the shape. Taking a dark brown cs panel, I partially sponged white pegment ink through a stencil (Memory Box) and cut the panel with the a stitched die. I then positioned the leaves against the sponged stenciling and glued them in place. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with white ep. Finally, I took a fall color assortment of Nuvo drops and Viva Pearl Pens that I had and made tiny droplets around the leaves.
I hope you'll join Laurie and the other Rock Stars and play along with this fabulous challenge. For details on how to play head on over to THE HOUSE.

This is stunning, like that background and the leaves are falling.
Beautiful - love the way you colored the leaves with your oxide inks. So much to look at in this card.
Such a pretty card.
So happy that you've got power again, Cheri! Your beautiful creation was well worth the wait! Once again, you've hit this challenge out of the park! Great job!
Wonderful take on my DCC! Thank goodness you have power again! Take care.
Totally love the sponge texture you created! Wonderful fall card- and I’m so glad you are all powered up now!
Simply stunning. Love the background for those amazing leaves. Fabulous colourful droplets making a great finishing touch SS
Awesome card. Sure glad you got power 3 days without it wow that's crazy!
This is gorgeous!! The sponging makes it look (in the photo at least) like the cardstock is creased/folded. What a great look. Love all the little nuvo drops; fun touch!
