For the Day 212, the 365Cards gave this Colour Combo Challenge.
Since there are so many challenges on Fall this week, I decided to go on with it. I wanted my card to be Clean n Simple.
Instead of layering cardstocks, I used Gift wrap paper ( It has all the shades mentioned in the colour combo, though the green is of a lighter tone, "Laurel green" as per wiki) n Quilling strips in the border to give the layering effect.
I made an Origami maple leaf ( strictly speaking, may not be called Origami since cutting of paper is involved) with the help of this tutorial. You start with a square piece of paper ofcourse.
Isn't it beautiful? It is easy too! You just need a good pair of scissors :)
I used the following supplies.
