Giving in to Fall Designs

 I have many fall themed stamps, but I rarely use them. I am determined to change that habit this year. Actually, I purchased new fall stamps and dies because I couldn't resist them.  

This card was created with a Honey Bee cover plate gifted to me by an old friend who visited this week. I chose a maple leaf from Wendy Vecchi's "Make Art" Lots of Leaves package and smooshed on Distress Oxide inks before adding a "water drop."  The beautiful sentiment is an old Wordsworth stamp, wood-mounted. 

Inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest, I dug out the embossing folder with the idea of adding fall leaves.  I smooshed Oxide inks on watercolor paper, spritzed it and smooshed some more before heat drying it. Then I die cut the leaves with dies I found on Amazon.
