'Fall'ing in Love...

       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.

  • White cardstock
  • Gift wrap paper( fall leaves pattern) n Rusty red Quilling strips for the border
  • Embellishment: An Origami Maple leaf made from Orange coloured craft paper
  • Markers for writing the sentiment
       Here's my card.



I'm submitting this for the following challenges.
Hope you liked it. Please leave your comments. Your feedback means a lot :)
