It's hard to get in the Autumn mood during these 95 degree days we are having right now, but it is my favorite time of year, so that makes it easier. Here's what I created this week:

| Art Glitter - Black, Pumpkin, True Red, Fool's Gold, Orange Crush , Fauna, & Crystal LG754 - Lg Oak Leaves |
I used the double glitter technique with several beautiful Art Glitter colors. I didn't have a dark brown for the stem and acorn tops, so I mixed a little Fool's Gold and Black on a coffee filer and put that in the areas I wanted. For the bottom of the acorn, I added a little Fauna (very pale gold) to the gold/black mix to lighten it up just a little. The leaves were sprinkled randomly with True Red, Pumpkin, Fools' Gold, Orange Crush and the rest of the gold/black mixture. Use your finger to rub the glitter around to blend the colors a little, tap off the extra glitter (i save that mix for another day!), turn it over and peel off the paper, sprinkle the background with Crystal glitter. Mount into a beautiful fall card. The beautiful ribbon I used is one of my favorites from May Arts, it is a gold black weave perfect for my design.

I love the autumn feel of your card Louise! Makes me want to rake leaves or have some hot cocoa!
I'm nuts about your card! Pun intended! Hee hee! It's fantastic and I love your sparkly stash of goodness!
This card just screams Louise! The attention to detail and clean design make it another one of your stunning cards!
This is beautiful. Love how the glitter looks with this stencil!
Beautiful card! I know you mean about the HOT weather in fall, It's been in the 90's here too.
