613 Avenue Create September Challenge - Twist: Distress

Well, Summer is approaching its end.  Fall is definitely approaching.  I love this time of the year when the leaves turn so many beautiful colors.  So for our September challenge at 613 Avenue Create, I made a card with a wheat leaf and fall colors.  I used distress inks per the optional twist. It was quick and easy.  So quick and easy that I actually made two cards, something I don't do a lot.  I will show the other at another time. 

The background is actually darker in real life than in this picture.  After cutting out the leaf with that beautiful die, I sponged on three colors of distress inks and coated it with clear Wink of Stella.  I also sponged the background of the top folding card with distress ink.  Then I glued down the leaf and stamped the sentiment.  Finally, I used a Spectrum Noir marker and added the dots to give my card a bit of texture.
