Onto the card base, I added a strip of fall-colored cardstock then a panel of gold patterned paper imprinted with falling leaves and acorns. Any dies I have that depict leaves are large so I decided to "make it work". Dies created the two-layered leaves as well as a few extra bits for the inlay technique. The leaves were added to the card using foam tape for dimension. I elected to omit the squares and let the large leaves stand on their own. A few metallic gold gems were added. The inside was lined with a panel of vanilla cardstock and another die-cut leaf image.
