Hi, I was inspired by a few challenges tonight to make this card.
At CASology the cue card is under.
I layered these leaves under each other, and placed the sentiment under the layout.
At Cuttlebug Mania the team is back from their summer break and the theme is to use embossing and a manual machine like a cuttlebug, or a big shot. I used Cuttlebug distressed stripes embossing folder.
Addicted to Stamps & More has an anything goes challenge.
Over at Darnell's blog she is celebrating having 600 followers!! Not surprising as a visit there is not only inspiring but usually leaves you in such a good mood due to her wicked sense of humour!
The challenge is to use some of your NBUS, never before used schtuff!
There are a few options listed for your project, I'm choosing option 4. (none of the above!)

I've used a die I bought a while ago, Memory Box marvellous maple leaves.
I cut them from glossy card and pounced them with alcohol inks. They were too light so I added some fired brick and vintage photo distress inks.
Materials used:
Memory Box marvellous maple leaves die; distressed stripes embossing folder; glossy cardstock; alcohol inks; distress inks; foam dots and a sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,

Your leaves look so authentic. Perfect coloring with the alcohol inks. I love Darnell. She is so funny and her blog always brings a smile to my face, if not a laugh out loud.
Yippie! You are number one on challenge number two, Cathy! Thank you so much!! Your card with your NBUS leaves is so pretty! You have such a knack with the pouncing and inking to arrive at perfect fall coloring! (BTW, I like that you were a rebel and chose option 4!!) Hugs, Darnell
Nice card Cathy - can be masculine or not - Mxxx
