Stamp from Mark's Finest Papers, Autumn Glory 2011. I colored with Copics, then sponged background and cut out & matted with Labels Two Die from Spellbinder's. Leaves stamp is also from Autumn Glory 2011. I inked first with Versamark then with red ink & stamped on white CS & then heat embossed with clear EP. Then using a mask I sponged color inside the leaves, then sponged the background with golden yellow.
I was able to use scraps for the focal & frame, thank goodness I save everything...the ribbons are scraps too & the focal covered up the splices!
