Think Of All The Beauty Around You

I always think that Autumn is such a beautiful time of the year.  This sentiment seemed so appropriate for an Autumn card:

I am entering the card into the following challenges:
Brown Sugar - Autumn

I have used a background paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles which I reduced in size and then repeated to create a tiled background paper.  The image and sentiment are from Shelly's Images and I combined them for this card.  The colouring is with Distress Markers - pine needles, spiced marmalade, mustard seed and festive berries.  I also diecut and embossed two leaves using a Marianne's die.  The image and sentiment have been diecut with a Spellbinders Labels die and "stitched" with Distress Marker - Pine Needles.
