Autumn Greetings - TSOT 658

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch On Tuesday #658.  Perfect sketch for an Autumn card, and I had the perfect stamp and diet set to use.  Chose to do the background similar to the sketch using sponging technique and a Tangerine color. Die cut the circle and the stitched diagonal panels using Rosemary cardstock and adhered to the sponged background.  

Cut and stamped all the leaf pieces three times for arrangement of my cluster of leaves as I wasn't sure what I was going to use. Colored several of the pieces using Copic Sketch brushes in a variety of fall colors. As I had finalized my cluster I wasn't happy with the white borders and ended up fussy-cutting all the leaves. They were adhered with glue and 3D thin foam tape for dimension... fussy-cut made me happy, and the add of the sentiment finished the card.   

Had lots of leaves left over and a small border of the sponged cardstock and used them on the inside border and corner of card base.
