No scary things in this card, just leaves :)
I kept the corner die in place and used Distress inks to stencil though the die to add color to the pretty flowers and leaves, I didn't have any poppystamps leaves but I did have some from Memory Box, these are plain leaves so I used my stylus and a mat to add my own veins in the leaves and used a bit of distress inks on them also.
What do you think of the pattern paper behind, I was mixed, I kept going from pattern to plain card stock and just thought I would just go with the pattern. Funny how in person it looked great to me but on the computer screen I am second guessing myself.
Poppystamps - Clara Corner die

Wow! I can see why you like that corner die, Connie. I especially LOVE the printed paper behind it. I wouldn't have thought of using a corner die in that manner - it is pure genius! Thanks for teaching me something new today. It's a lovely creation, and your delicate coloring is fantastic against the background colors! hugs, de
BEAUTIFUL! I love how you inked through the die ... perfect! and your leaves are AMAZING! SO life like!! Gorgeous colors! I would have a hard time deciding on dp or plain too but I think this looks great! I do a lot of second guessing myself too! You're not alone on that one! LOL I think you made the right choice ... the colors are awesome!
Second guessing ourselves is part of the process, I think. We do it all the time. My thoughts are that I was struck by how pretty the corners are and it took me a moment to realize it was designer paper back there. The effect is lovely! This card is just beautiful all over, Connie!
Pretty Fall card!Best wishes!
Beautiful!! I love the way you used the corner die....those colors are so pretty!
Love it. Fabulous use of the corner die and beautiful leaves. The DP behind is gorgeous and one would think it was what you coloured yourself...fabulous.xx
I like the background paper. It makes the beautiful leaves really pop. This is a perfect card for Autumn.
You did an awesome job with the corner die. Stunning results.
A really beautiful autumnal card. The inking through the leaves is just perfect, such a lovely die too!
Trying to catch up on my commenting as I am just back from holiday. Your cards are all lovely, as always ;-)
Oh wow that corner die is marvelous, I love it with the Designer Paper peeking beneath--so pretty! I also love your cluster of leaves, soooo FALLish!
I love your corners! They are colorful like the colorful leaves in the Fall. Such a pretty card!
i think the background paper looks great!!! in my humble opinion, i think any more of a print would have been too much - it surely is a beautiful paper. and pictures don't always capture the real essence of anything, always go with what you are really seeing!!!
i am looking forward to seeing your vacation pictures. i will be away with the knitting crew this weekend, i am so excited!!!
That card is chock full of autumn. Love it!
Oh my word it's gorgeous Connie! I am amazed at the die cut!
