I die cut a variety of leaves using shades of orange and gold cardstock, then added additional color with a stipple brush and dye inks. This is a lot of fun and messy, lol.
For the card base, I used my Scalloped French Flair XL Stackers Nesting dies, adding a background DP die cut with the coordinating French Flair Silver Stacker. Before mounting the DP I added some texture with my Dotted Swiss XL Embossing plate. Next I added an English Tea Party Doily, mounting a Sunflower with dimensional foam in the center. Then it was just a matter of adding the leaves, bending and layering them around the sunflower. Finished size is 5 5/8 inches.
