Autumn Windswept

I created this circlular card, simply by folding a piece of A4 cardstock in half, drawing round the large doilly and then cutting round it, adding a margin/seam to it.  Having distressed it and the dp with my trust TH paper distresser I inked the edges with a selection of inks.  The image, coloured in pens, also got the distressing treatment before having a swirly stamp stamped round the edges.  The doilly was sprayed with gold Glimmer mist, and then some vintage photo distress ink rubbed round the edges.  I used distress inks to stain the leaves and swiped them through some of the gold glimmer mist left on my  craft mat.

Supplies
Colouring medium: promarkers and flexpens
Papers: Prima Reflections
Embellishments: doilly, chipboard leaves from stash
Tools: Tim Holtz distressing tool, paper distresser

The colours are stunning Cathy and I love the circular card idea. The leaves marry in perfectly with your coloured image and balance it perfectly. Love it! Saw it on MIM.
