For Your Inspiration #10

It's time for the next For Your Inspiration challenge!  Steph has chosen a gorgeous and breathtaking scene.  Please join us for this great challenge.  You have until August 3rd to play.

I was immediately drawn to the steps and wanted to mimic those on my card.  I also wanted to include the fall leaves.
This is a 4 x 6 card.

I created the lines by masking off the white panel with a large post-it note and sponging lightly using Basic Gray ink.  I started at the bottom and worked my way up. 

They branches are stamped on vellum and sandwiched between the white die-cut panel and red frame.  The black line on the card base is hand drawn with a black pen and ruler.  I added some red pearls to finish it off.  I decided to create a coordinating envelope too.  I should take time to do this more often.

I'm also entering this in the Wee Memories CAS challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.  Let me know what you think.
