This is a card for fall - and yes, I already know that one little leaf should have been brown, rust, mustard, or anything other than green. However, green it is! I figure you can look at this two ways - either it's symbolic of the last leaf falling with winter coming on - OR - the cut ants got to this tree and just stripped it!
The image is from Recollections and I used some unknown patterned paper (trying to use up scraps) and Old Olive, Really Rust, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla. The image is "framed" with the Scallop Edge Medallion (from the Resources page at SCS). And that shiny, shimmery, multi-colored ribbon was sent to me by Mary at Southern Moments. Beautiful ribbon and thanks again so much.
This will be for several challenges:
Creative Inspirations Paint - leaves (even though there is only ONE leaf here)
Crafty Emma - Forever Autumn
Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle - Fall
Thanks for stopping by............

This is lovely, the colors are just wow!!! Ok, now for your little leaf, I know here in North Texas we have quite a few green leaves that fall, they don't all turn color. So, it is a Texan leaf ;)
Love the colors and layout of this terrific fall card!
Great layout and I love your choice of DP's you used.

I love the rich colors of your fall card, Lynn! That green leaf is perfect for South Texas fall, in my opinion. :) I love that scalloped medallion punch, too. Looks great!
Gorgeous autumnal card hun, lol at the green leaf (I think the cut ants got it) just love the layers!

PS: I love that you took the word verification off :)
Gorgeous card and the leaf is lovely in green!
I like how you did the partial scallop frame to showcase the nice tree image. I like the combo of patterned papers and colors with this layout.
I think it's perfectly ok to have a green leaf in autumn. They do happen. In our woods, we have one tree that is tucked within a grove of other trees. As the outer trees turn gold and red and rust, that little tree on the inside stays green for the longest time. When all the other trees have shed their leaves, this one finally starts to turn gold.
What a great card! I love the layering of it. Thank you for sharing it with us at Creative Inspirations Paint.
Pretty card - love that tree! :)
Perfect fall card and I like that your leaf is green! Great job!
Wonderful card. Love that image and the lone leaf. The background paper is so pretty. Thanks for joining us at Creative Inspirations.
Lynn this is wonderful... love the mix of dps and I didn't even notice the leaf was green till you said. :) I really like how you framed out the image though. Will have to try that
